Jaide Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Do you... a) try to find one identical and replace it sneakily b) just tell her it died, after all - it will be going back to the fish bowl when she returns (and has been currently living in my tank with the other goldies in the meantime) c) pretend nothing happened: "you only gave me one fish, what do you mean there was two?" d) move :cr7: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 :rotf: how about e) text her to say it died and ask if she wants a surprise replacement to love when she gets back..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 I like Sophia's suggestion, otherwise... B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 A. but make sure it's at least three times the size and knows a bunch of new tricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insectile Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 A. but instead of replacing with one fish, replace with two, one smaller than the other and happily exclaim that they were so happy in your care that they decided to have babies! :cofn: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discusguru Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 B. Just tell her the poor fish die because it had to swim around the big tank with water flow from the filter all day. Think it got stressed out big time :rotf: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Ask if she wants a post mortem for closure. What are you going to tell her when your fish start getting sick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaide Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 i can assure you, i imagined a lot of weird and rather gory stuff based on my attempts to translate that diagram.... I thought it meant I should make one - I'm just not that arty, she'll see through my stick-figure design of a fish unfortunately :sml2: A. but instead of replacing with one fish, replace with two, one smaller than the other and happily exclaim that they were so happy in your care that they decided to have babies! :cofn: Love it! :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaide Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I went with option b) - and she said that she thought it was looking poorly before she gave it to me - sitting down too much she reckoned, so guess I'm off the hook! She has also suggested I take the remaining one as it would be cruel to put him back in the bowl - so looks like I now have 2.5 goldies and 1 paradise fish, all of them "saved" too :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
