Now, add water back in the tank and add drops to take the clorine out of the water (you can get this at Wal-mart). Let this sit until the water is about the right temperature for the fish (you may need to use a thermometer). Or you can mix warm and cold water to make it the right temperature. With the drops you don't have to wait for the clorine to evaporate out of the water and you can add your fish right away. Just make sure that the water isn't too drastic of a temperature change. Gold fish are pretty tough so you shouldn't have to worry about it too much. (You can also let tap water sit for 24 hours, to let the clorine evaporate, and then clean your tank and fill with this water.) Hope this helps. |
That sounds like a lotta work. Didn't ya ever see Finding Nemo? Fishes wanna live in the sea...sewer pipes eventually end up in the sea.
Get her a couple plastic fishies....no fuss, no muss
