But after one hour almost half of them died. 6 c! {! [3 a- P4 ], } G
Three hours later no fish left alive. / I# x8 e6 b! o fSo sad to see all the beautiful little things losing their lives.

I did not plan to have the least-expensive goldfish in my tank, but for the purpose of testing my water, I bought 5 of them. They have been doing very well. I do not think it ok to throw them away live. Then when I add fish, I have to consider what fish can live along with them. 8 {8 i- i' F8 P- [& TDo you have any suggestions?
