Ok I have well did have 2 goldfish swimming around in a goldfish tank and last friday stretch passed onto the great goldfish bowl in the sky. That leaves stinky. Told spug and he says i should buy another one because stinky will die pretty soon because hes on his own. Is this true?

We had two goldfish (Harry and Hermione) in July but one of them died within a week leaving Hermione all on her own. We left her like that but because I have a tendancy to humanise animals I felt really guilty about her being lonely! So we went out and got another one (Ronnyronnyruru - I didn't name it!!!!!). Anyway, turns out that Harry had probably died because Hermione was a big nasty bully and kept sitting on him because that's what she did with the new fish (I can't bring myself to repeat its name). Anyway, I was told that if you introduce a new fish into an established bowl it's best to keep it in it's bag for a while inside the tank - that way they can get to know each other.

I used to work at Aquamania and never heard anyone say such a thing, so I think its most likely not true.
