Last Saturday Carlie won a fish at her school carnival. After the carnival we went to PetSmart to buy a few other fish to keep "Goldie" company. We don't have room or the money for an aquarium so they have been living in the lid of my cake plate. Obviously not the best living conditions because Goldie died today. Carlie was very sad, and she and Daddy buried her in the backyard. She didn't want to flush her down the toilet. Luckily, I got a photo of Goldie before her passing...
She is the tiny one on the upper left. The others are Cutie Patootie, McQueen, and Jaq. Don't know how much longer they will be around. If they survive at least one month, we may get an aquarium unless someone out there has one they aren't using.

We bought Miss M a beta and spent about $20 on an unfiltered tank. She got it for her 5th b-day and will be 7 in July, so he is almost 2 years old. It has a little bubbler attached, plus we bought a snail to help keep the tank clean. We also have to treat the water b/c of the chemicals that are harmful to the fish. I know from my teaching days that goldfish are much less hardy than beta.
One more thing...you might post on craigslist and freecycle you are looking for goldfish tanks and such.
Thanks for the tips! Always forget about freecycle.
