DD won one at school . I was pretty cross about it and assumed it would die within a couple of days so went to IKea and got a salad bowl since I don't like our local pet shop.
Baz lived on, he's been with us since before Christmas but shits like billyo. I've never seen such a small (10cm or so) animal produce so much shit.
Anyway, the point is, last Friday, DD came home from school with another one, a survivor of the same prize as well as a pleko from a girl in her class whose mum wanted rid.
I did got an buy a medium sized plastic tank and a bridge for the pluck to hide under. On Saturday morning, it became apparent that the boys were bullying the pleco so we took her downstairs to the fountain where other fish - Koi and two giant pleco's live. We've visited her and she seems happy when we can spot her.
Now to my question. I don't know how happy the two goldfish are. Would it be kinder to put them into the fountain or should I leave them in our 'tank'. DD would be heartbroken to lose her pets, but I am not sure what sort of a life they have. I am not willing or able to afford a bigger tank.
