afternoon all..
went out this morning to a friend of my wifes, and low and behold she had a little fish tank, i mean little, like a small platic box from a supermarket or wilkinsons job, anywho she had it crammed with these poor fishies, i had a little bit of a moan and she said she didnt want them anyway as the kids where bored with them, me and the wife being softies anyway with animals offered to take them.
now i know i havent the room and i had just got a tanlk specifically for a bn i wanted to rehome, but what could i do? ive had to stick the goldfish in there and the bn is going to have to wait.
now i know nothing about goldfish but i think these are comets? i`ll try and get them rehomed by sticking them in the classifieds (free to good home) and maybe asking my local maidenhead.

ive stuck the fake ornaments in that came with the tank jsut to break it up a bit, got them some goldfish food and they seem ok at the moment, i imagine its like heaven compared to the crap they where in anyway, so my questions are, is there anything else i should/could do to make them a bit happier? and also before i stick them in the classifieds are they comets?

cheers

If they have been crammed into a small tank with fake weeds they are going to LOVE some live plant like elodea. My comets/ goldfish in the pond demolish it as soon as I put some in. Thank goodness for elodea being a quicker grower and I always have spare lengths of it.
