Mr. kissyface fish (otherwise known as an algea eater) started eating the scales of the last remaining goldfish – and today Mr. Calico Goldfish was dead.
I’m getting rid of the ugly one and just keeping one fancy goldfish…
and yes, I’ve been putting algea discs in the tank this whole time…

Friday morning we shut down the house and headed to LAX. Despite a disorganized boarding queueing procedure from Air Canada, the actual flight was not full and we ended up with an empty seat next to us. However, the flight was delayed for about a half hour due to a “maintenance procedure” that prolonged our […]
I posted a bit ago about how we’d gone back to Shaw’s Cove for the first time in five years. Part of that was because we’d visited La Jolla Shores on one day down and back trips in 2020 and 2021. Then no swimming at all anywhere in 2022 or 2023. So while it had […]
A month ago we returned to Shaw’s Cove after a 5 year drought to find out that we’d been snorkeling to the wrong side all along. A few coves south lay the Laguna Beach Marine Life Refuge, where most of the juvenile leopard sharks learn to drive. Last time all our friends cancelled on us, […]
I had a goldfish in a bowl for two and a half years before he finally kicked the bucket last Spring. I’ve tried to get another goldfish like him but they’ve all died within a week or so of being bought. I even splurged on a fancy beta but he also kicked the bucket within the first week.
I’ve always had goldfish. Usually they last a long time. I haven’t always had algea eaters though – looks like that was a bad idea.
Algae eaters are only good if you have a variety of larger, slightly more aggressive fish that will push him away when he gets too close. I used to have African cichlids and the algae eater did just fine with those. Algae eaters are best with large tanks.
I used to have chichlids too. With goldfish. In the same tank.
I was stupid.
LMAO. ohhhh you just made my day. too funny.
