I guess all is lost.
All the message boards were correct all along.
Do you all think I'm doomed?
1 of my two goldfish (comets) died this week.
Perhaps you can help with the autopsy.
Tank is a 55g
on back porch.
with heater.
tap water
no filters
no water changes
no air stones.
no lights.
I broke down and added the heater when during the first winter the water surface was an ice sheet one day.
Porch has 3 outside walls with the forth facing southeast and screened.
direct sunlight 3 hours per day.
I simply can't understand what happened.
It had only been in the tank for 4 years.
Must have been some disease from the fish store.
Meanwhile his/her buddy is still in there doing just fine.
I guess it's time to quit this hobby after all the time and expense I've spent on that tank.
I might have spent over $50 not counting the tank and stand.
Every week I have to top off the tank with a garden hose.
and every 2-3 days I have to add food.
what a pain.
oh yea Hi h@rry and tomoko.
