Well....I guess we should have called the Wonder Pets. I sent Mitch a text yesterday telling him the fish were dropping like flies. There were 3 of our 21 goldfish floating in the pond. He called me and said "I guess I put to much algea killer in last night". I said "oops". :) I put some in this morning. I could see more and more fish start to turn upside down and float to the top as we spoke. Frances helped me to quickly get a 5 gallon pail and fill it with fresh water. We caught all living fish and tried to save them. We even rigged up some oxygen for them by using the portable inflator for the water toys and a straw. When Mitch got home he hooked up the filter and pump from out fish tank onto the 5 gallon pail. They were looking okay for now. This morning, not so good. My garage smelled worse than a walmart fish deptartment! There are still a few living but I don't know if they will make it. Looks like we need to visit a walmart fish department!
On a final note...we do plan to communicate better, at least when it comes to giving the kids medicine!!!
