TRY, TRY AGAIN!
Well, after an entire year of having (1) a really exotic humidifier and (2) everyone asking, "Where are the fish?" - we decided to try again.Now, we know lots of people that manage to keep carnival fish alive for years with no filter or special treatment. That just isn't us. At some point - we feel terrible about the carnage leaving our home via public waterworks! We have a filter, and we make sure to add the proper chemicals to the water long before the fish arrive. We don't overfeed, and we even have real plants! What could be wrong?
Well, we have 3 (scratch that) - 2 new fish in our tank. We bought this beautiful large comet goldfish, a 'sucker' fish (which we have named Lollipop), and a really nice black moor fantail (that didn't make it 24 hours).
HELP!!! We need your help with any suggestions. Suggestions for (1) keeping the remaining 2 fish alive and (2) naming this pretty fish. There are only so many 'orange' names I can think of.
(side note: when I was a teen, I always thought that people with names for their animals like Blackie, Brownie, Blondie and Spot were SO unoriginal. Now I understand that parents were just tapped out in the naming department! I learned this after the onslaught of pure white animals that our little one received around the holidays, and after trying to name our fish something besides Aubie!)

My fish is named Pooka. A pooka is a magical spirit that visits people (usually in animal form). My fish is named this because the evening after we bought him there was a Jimmy Stewart movie on TV in which JS plays the lead character who is visited by a human-sized white rabbit (invisible to everyone else) named Harvey. JS thinks Harvey is a pooka.
So that's where Pooka got his name. We started to name him Harvey, but Pooka was just too cool to pass up.
My sucker fish, we just call "Fella" but I think "Lollipop" is very fun and original, too.
how about clementine...mm is bringing clementine oranges to montessori for snack tomorrow...we love clementines!
I had never tried them, and bought some (based on your recommendation) - they are so EASY and DELICIOUS! I think I'll give that a go! Thanks!
