Why not call it Hyacinth.
I have a new pet. We went to the pet store and I picked out a goldfish. She cost around a dollar. Less expensive than the jar of food and far less expensive than the light and filter I got for her.
Help me think of a name for her. I am not good with names. She is half white and half gold. I just thought of "twinkle". Please look at the picture and think of a name for her.
She is my birthday present to myself. I paid for her myself. My father got me the speaker. It is good to be alive. I now have a new pet. Name as of yet undetermined. Maybe I could name her after a Saint. I do not know the sex of the fish, but I am calling it a "she". So a female name. Not "Gemma." She would be black like the midnight sky. Are there black goldfish? Perhaps "Poor Clare".
The man at the pet store said you can not have goldfish together with most tropical fish as the goldfish poop out ammonia which poisons the tropical fish. He also said my fish tank is small so I should not have another fish. One is enough. I just hope she lives for a while.
I got disillusioned with fish after i tried keeping tropical fish when I was a new convert. I always went to the local pet store called "Cameo Fish" and the fish would always die immediately after I bought them. I would be lucky if they lasted a week. It was as if the store sold sick fish so the customers would keep coming back again and again to buy more and more fish. I even followed his directions checking the PH of the water and adding the tap water treatment fluid and changing the filter. Now because it is a goldfish I hope she lives longer.
The guy at the pet store said one lady who comes to the store had a goldfish that grew to fifteen inches long in a twenty gallon tank. It took three years to grow that big. I hope I have similar success in my ten gallon tank. I want to get plants to put in the tank so it looks prettier. I considered buying a "Yellow Submarine" prop to put in the fish tank but I declined because the holes for the fish to swim through were not big enough for the fish I bought.
Now I have a new friend. So help me find a name.
I have heard that the general position of the Church is that we shouldn't name animals after Saints. So how about "Aurora" or "dawn"?
So we should not name animals for saints? Thanks, I did not know. I like "Aurora". So far I like that best.
