who keeps a fancytail goldfish in 2 gallons of water?!?!?!!!
My friend who lives down the hall from me in my dorm has this poor little gold fish who is probably about 3 years old (and 2 1/2") that she keeps in this tiny plastic 2gal "tank" with a filter/airator combo and no light. She forgets about the tank for months at a time to the point where its only half full and there is so much algae you can't see poor little Fanta (the goldie's name is Fanta). The poor little guy gets a water change maybe every 2 months (if i keep bugging her to do it). She won't part with him (i've begged her to let me take him, i told her i'd buy him his own 10 gal tank and everything) but yet she keeps him in such awful condition!!!
I know there's really nothing else I can do, but I feel so bad for this little fish.
Oh just as a side note, she's a very experienced fish keeper, with a 24gal marine tank, so it isn't that she's clueless, it's that she's LAZY!!!
Any suggestions?
