Yesterday went to Bloomsburg, Pa. fair---our Church has a stand there and I helped. My wife came at 6 p.m. to do her 4 hour shift and I took control of our 4 and 7 yr. old daugters. Unbeknown to me a lady across the the way gave my 7 yr. old a comet gold fish of aprox. 1.5 to 2 inches (gray with a black strip from head to tail dorsally. First off I don't want goldfish and if I did I'd certainly buy some fancy ones, but I ended up taking it home, this morning woke up with another one in the 2 gallon tank that was temporarily setup for the night. They are now in a ten gallon at present time and yes I know that is way to small for 2 let alone 1 goldfish, I have a 29 gallon but they will not go into it, I figure I'll eventually put them into one of those tubs at walmart that hold quite abit. I am not a bad fish person, I just know my daughter and she'd take along time getting over not keeping them, who knows they diffentially will have a better life with us anyway. They are cute at the moment but so are other animals until they grow up. I enjoy fairs but I wish they'd do away with the goldfish thing, it was different when I didn't know how to take care of them, and since I know I hate to even mess with them unless I want to keep them on my own.
