A New Fish

YAY!!! New fishy! Her name is gonna be Amy, I think.

Here is a picture:

Here is a head-on picture:

She is in her quarantine tank right now, so if she's sick, she won't get Rory sick.

However, I'm pretty sure that all she has is a light case of ammonia poisoning. Or she's confused because she can see herself in the sides of her tank. 

Summer!

So, one day not too long ago, I was watching Rory, and he looked sad and sluggish. So I tested the temperature and it was at 71 degrees.
And I read in various places (websites, books, etc.) that goldfish aren't supposed to have water over about 70 ish.
AHA! I thought. I'll put in some cooler water!
So I did, and now he is happier.

The Oldest Goldfish in the World

So, I was looking on one of my favorite goldfish websites, and I found this:  http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/devon/4341254.stm

The website I found it on was this:

The second one is quite a good website for many things. However, I have not stolen stuff from them.

Update on Rory

Rory is now close to three inches long.
He's loving life in his big tank, and has gotten some new rocks in his tank.
He's not very lonely, and has learned that he gets fed between 8 and 9am every morning.
Which means he starts to look for his food at about 6 am.
The myth that goldfish only have a three second memory is a LIE!
