and then there were none

I think I killed my fish. I am so upset by this. I bought them two or t three years ago from walmart cus I wanted a pet. I bought 10 goldfish for 10 cents each and three coy. I didn't know they were coy till later. the goldfish slowly died off. that didn't surprise me. they aren't expected to live very long. I finally ended up with the coy and one really pretty goldfish. since it is getting hotter, the water in the fountain get cloudy pretty quick. I keep it running, to keep the filter going and the stop the mosquito's from taking hold and having a free breeding ground. I also put algae control in it. you use a very small amount, one teaspoon per 50 gallons of water. I used it on sunday and on monday the water was clear. it hadn't gotten really bad yet. I went out to feed the fish yesterday and they looked great.

this morning I went out there and one of my fish was floating on the top and the other three were on the bottom of the barrel. What the hell???? when i looked at them a little closer with the net, two of them were still breathing, the goldfish and one coy. the coy was still breathing so i moved it down to the lower tank and tried to get it to move. I worked with it for a while, and finally go tit to start swimming a little .

 do I sound a little strange. well i got attached to my fish i guess. even though they never swam up to meet me when i fed them, they were still my pets. anyway, i finally go tit stay in the upright position and swim a little so i took my shower and headed off to bed. When i woke up tonight, i checked on it again and he was again on his side, but still breathing. I know that he will be gone by the morning, but i tried. I guess I don't get to have a pet, even a fish. I did  bury the other ones. I will have to do that in the morning with this one. crap. I really liked my fish too.

Now, on a lighter note. my friend did a great favor for me yesterday and I didn't eve ask for it. she called around and found a place that will print the pics for the memory quilt for me. I figured the price of the ink and my time will be worth the cost of her doing that. so, i am going to try and find at least fifty pictures form those that I have and put them on a disk then bring it to her shop. she is a t-shirt printer. she is going to put the pics on a transfer sheet and i will only have to cut them apart and iron them on. and only for about fifty bucks. I am happy with that. pretty cool huh? and i didn't even ask for this help, she just thought of it and did it. How cool is that? I usually have to do my own research and finding. there isn't a time-line on this, so I can take my time until the hall is built. it s gonna be a really cool quilt. wait till you see the end result.

Well, that's it for now. Ill see ya all later.
