Certain things are okay to purchase at Wal-Mart...diapers, graham crackers, paper towels, etc. Certain things are, generally speaking, not okay to purchase at Wal-Mart. I'm pretty sure pets fall into the later category. We live on the edge. For $0.28 each we went crazy and bought one for each kid. The 'pet' guy at Wal-Mart accidentally gave us 6...I pointed out his mistake but he was too lazy to either remove one fish from the bag and/or rewrite the sales ticket so we scored a free fish (SWEET). Meet 'Popcorn', 'Captain Crunch', 'Nemo', 'Fred', 'Seafood', and 'Little Mikey'. I am also aware that 6 fish is too many for that little bowl, thank you for your concern. I am simply taking bets on how long until all 6 are floaters.
Our record for goldfish is 2 days.
ReplyDeleteIs that the longest or shortest record? ;-)
ReplyDeletewe got fish there a couple weeks ago. So far we've bought 8 and have 4 left. I prefer to think they're just learning to float on their backs rather than dying
ReplyDeleteFor goldfish that's the longest. Shortest is a few hours. The transfer from the plastic bag to the bowl was a hard transition.
ReplyDeleteWe did have a beta fish named Fireworks once that lasted about 9 months... Then Ashley changed the water and replaced it with very hot water after she cleaned the bowl...
Day 6 was day one of death watch Fred was floating before breakfast. By Day 10 Nemo, our last fish swimming, was a goner. Thanks for playing.
