The Survivor

A strange thing happened in our gold fish pond.  All of a sudden our fish started dying.  We've had these same 5 goldfish for maybe close to a year now.  They lived through the winter when the ice was so thick you couldn't break it with your shoe.  They lived even though we never fed them.  They started out little ...just feeder fish that cost about sixteen cents each.  But grew pretty big. 

I guess maybe it was the intense heat.   Or maybe it was the other (ugly) fish my son caught at the park and put in there.  Who knows. 

But we decided to rescue this guy before it was too late.  He has always been the fave.  Bigger than the rest and white.  We caught him and put him in a goldfish bowl in my daughters' room.  He looks huge in there and doesn't have much room to swim.  But he's awfully pretty with the white rocks. 

And I'm guessing it's like a resort to him now b/c he's actually getting fed!

Ur going to need to put a bubbler-airetor in there with him. Betas are the only ones that don't need a air supply to breathe.
