My Poor Poor Fish!!

Me and my husband got a couple goldfish
and I named one bubbles because his eyes
blew out sometimes... I thought he was
cool... Well the other day I was telling
my husband that we don't need another
algea eater... We have a small one... I
also heard if you get a big one that they
may chase your small fish and attach
itself to them and suck on the fishes
slimmy bodies... Well my husband didn't
listen to me and brought home a big algea
eater... He was fine in there for a day
or two.. Till this morning when I found
bubbles lifeless body floating on top...
All his insides are sucked out!!!!
Ewwww.... My fishy is dead... Now I am
def. Geting rid of the big algea eater...
Does anyone have gold fish and algea
eaters?? I was wondering if anyone else
had this done to thier fish???

We just got a couple of goldfish yesterday
and I don't know if theres an algae eater
in there..I haven't paid much attention to
them.. We are going to bring in this big
fishtank and put some in there.. I'm kind
of disappointed becuase we have no room
and it's not a very practical thing to
do.. We don't need anymore animals or
whatever, we have our hands full with 2
dogs 3 cats, and a bird.. We don't need
fish, besides.. I don't believe in
keeping fish for pets anyway becuase they
are locked up in such a small area
(compared to the ocean or bay) and they
must be so bored and lonely.

I have a beta named kenai (if any of u
have ever seen brother bear, he's named
after the main character) 
he's really pretty (purple, pink, and
blue), but apparently u can't have other
fish with betas...Cuz they'll fight each
other and then get stressed out and die.
It must be lonely for him..But sometimes
he creeps me out. Lol he just stays there
staring at me while i'm typing at my
computer sometimes... He's doing it right
now actually. Lol
i'm surprised he's lived this long
actually...I've had him for almost 5
months and he's still going strong! I was told he might
not live more than a month or two if I was
lucky. Go kenai! Lol

thing refused to die! He finally passed
away a few months ago! Sad sad!

Ohh do I have a story about betas! When I
was going to college there were 5 guys
that lived next to door to us. They
bought 2 betas and made them fight, one
lived. The next month they bought
another one, and they fought and one
lived. They did this for 7 months
straight! They would have a big party and
get all wasted one day a month and do this
stupid horrible ritual with the betas.
The second one they bought was undefeted.
How sad is that!

Haha oh I know about travelling with a
fish.... When my parent's drove me and my
sister back up to school in sept. Kenai
was there with me in the back. Lol the
whole 10 hours in a little container. I
was afraid he would get stressed out and
die... I wonder how he's gonna handle the
plane...

forever the pessimist. Fish have to be
the easiest things in the world to take
care of. And I don't believe they're sad
or bored seeing how their memory span is
only about 30 seconds. Betas actually
thrive more in small environments.
