Why is it that people talking about euthanising(hope i spelt it right) a fish..it is totally off topic....see its just easy give it off to a lfs for free but please make sure they will take care of them..probably a good lfs its just that simple...or if you could afford an 30 G tank then that would house both your fishes...its your choice

That being said they were going to be flushed and I still don't really think it's 100% right keeping them in a 15 gallon.

I totally agree with you..depending on the size of your fish if they do fit in your tank then keep them till you find them a new home or you could provide them a new home...please uinderstand that 30 G that I suggested is for a grown gold fish as they need 20G for the first fish and 10G thereafter
