Katelyn has waited all summer long to get her fish. She had to wait until we got back from vacation and then the aquarium we bought was missing the filter so we had to wait another couple of weeks for it to come in the mail. She has checked out every “How to care for your fish” book at our library (literally) and knows far more than Kirk and I about fish. She bought 2 common goldfish because “they are a good start for beginners” and “goldfish are social animals and it is cruel to keep one in the tank by itself” (from the words of Katelyn). Unfortunately one of her fish died a couple of days later. Katelyn informed us that he had ich (a fish disease). We looked it up and I am pretty sure she was right. WOW, she is one smart kid!!! And yes, you can call animal rights activists because we have only one fish in the tank right now :)

I refuse to get fish because I can't stand them dying so quickly. I have full confidence that Katelyn will be an excellent fish owner!
Good for her, what a great adventure!!!!
Woohoo Katelyn! I know that you're super excited to have a pet! I hope you love them!
