To start the story, my Grandma has a pond in her backyard. We get goldfish for it every year and this year we got three Sarasa Comets and three Shubunkins. Sadly, the Comets died within three days of buying them. Two of the Shubunkins died a day later, but the other one was not found. About two months later, the pond started leaking. Me and my Grandma decided to see what the problem was. Once we had drained the pond down to about two inches of murky black water, my sister found a live fish. The poor thing had been living in a unfiltered murky pond without any beneficial bacteria or food for 2 WHOLE MONTHS! My Grandma put it in a bucket and told me to temporarily take him back to my house and keep him in my 10 gallon for 4 weeks. So, I did. The original plan was to bring him back to the pond once it was ready, but all the fish kept dying (my Grandma is NOT an expert fish keeper). I knew that the pond was not an option anymore. I was at the 5 week mark by now. I ended up getting WAY to attached to him and started looking for used tanks. Now, he is living happily in a 30 gallon long tank with all the space in the world. He absolutely adores me and I can stick me hand in the tank and he will come right up to me and nibble on my fingers. I can also hand feed him easily. He has become the best fish in the world!
