you crack me up!
6 goldfish??
Are they the little ones that stay in an indoor tank or those big ones that people keep in ponds?
wait a minute...im thinking of the koi fish...i think.
Yes lol the cheap feeder ones but I'm keeping them
And actually, you do technically have it right.
People keep both goldfish and koi in ponds.
And I learned a year or two ago after I had my betta and talking to lots of fish people that goldfish are actually really commonly mistreated, not intentionally but people keep them in bowls or small tanks (I admit I was guilty of this with multiple fish over the years lol) and so they stay small because their growth is stunted but in actuality, if kept in a pond setting they can get to be as big as koi, over a foot. In tanks they usually stay 6 inches or less.
Soooo... both LOL
These guys are in a bowl for now, idk how big but more than the gallon ones, probably at least 2 or 3? Idk. But for 6 that's kinda small, might be good if I had gotten one or two but I went crazy with six LOL
But I just bought a 20 gal long at
Petco cause they have the $1/gallon sale.
Some might say it's excessive but I wanna treat them right lol
Although my original plan was to just throw them in the outside pond in the garden until I realized I shouldn't be cruel and should wait till it's not winter LOL
Plus I think the pond is too small anyway.
Soooo..
I'm keeping them in a tank for now and in the spring I will either put them outside OR we might build a bigger pond in the back to put them and others in if they stay alive then.
Although they are starting to add up, I even bought a filter and air pump, no heater cause they like cold, but like gee, for fish I was gonna spend 3 bucks on and throw outside they add up.
Sometimes I hate being responsible and not cruel LOL
Nah, kidding, hopefully its obvious i dont really wanna be cruel lol
ANYWAY, really long story later,
In a tank they stay small, in a pond or released in the wild (believe it or not people do this), they can get to over a foot or 16 inches long just like koi
Although I've been thinking and I kinda wish I wasn't so impulsive cause with the all the money I'm spending, I could have just spent the time to set up a nice tank with tropical fish that stay small and pretty haha
And that's why i dont like when people blame addicts or whatever, anything really, i get it sucks or is painful or whatever, especially if you're dealing with it/consequences or have lost friends or family but it's an illness, at least severe addictions. I dont know about sugar and stuff but yeah.
