Looney Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I've only just read this thread and am so sorry to hear the news Poor Bruce and Bob I had fish and the one that lived the longest was the cheapest and least likely to survive...cost me 75p from Bradford indoor market. Bought in 1997 and still alive and now in retirement, in luxury, in my parents pond. Not bad considering the first few years were spent in a bowl with weekly water changes and no water filtration Any fancy ones I bought seemed to be doomed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tina C Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 I can't believe it either. I was just wondering how this story was developing and I find they have gone. Bless em, Hope you are OK. We have two ordinary, boring, goldfish that we got three years ago. I am not very attached to them (especially since we had to move them into a big ugly tank) but I would miss them if they died.

Cate in NZ Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Oh, Emma, I can hardly believe that, especially after this thread's predictions of doom and gloom. So sorry to hear about Bruce and Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin B Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Are they the same breed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Good luck with the new batch Emma. I used to keep really fancy goldfish when I was 'ickle' and they more fancy they are, the less time they seem to last! Shame really, because some of them are really lovely.

chickenlass Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Thats such a shame.... perhaps those two were a bit off colour when you got them Fingers crossed your new fish are OK and will be around for a very long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 Are they the same breed? No Martin, we went for the 'bog standard fish in a bag at the fare' type! Harry & Paul are still alive today! PHEW!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
