Re: Why do my little fishies keep dying? :(

OK. A few things not stacking up.....
1) Why would any animal lover continue to try and keep fish in an 8 litre bowl with no filter and then go through 13 dead fish?
You have been given fantastic advice here over he last few weeks (all
completely ignored by you to date) something FK has not experienced so far, in the years I've been here. True fish keepers do all they can once advised. Your post is a true first, but that's not an award by the way!
Water changes as already said should be daily not weekly, if you have no filter. Salt was never needed - these are freshwater fish, not marines.
2) Why travel with your son's fish? Leave the fish with your son. Travel stresses fish. On top of poor water quality, likely to be uber high in ammonia, nitrite and nitrate, you are just adding more angst to seriously ill fish.
3) You have now purchased 'another' goldfish, fish #14, this morning, which will yet again be likely to die in a few days/week or so, due to water poisoning.
Honestly, I do think you are trying to simply rile keepers here
but FK is above that. Hopefully these threads here will assist any newbies logging on though.
Your attitude to fish care if not, is most cavalier, ignorant and very cruel. You have all the advice already to have happy, healthy fish (140 litre cycled tank min, good filter etc).
Other fishkeeping sites will only re-iterate what has been said here. Why not try them to see?
Quite simply you are now knowingly killing fish, given the info you have
This smacks of trolling tbh (mods aware, Goldy advised tonight and already aware) so I'll be taking a depart/rest from your posts.
Would suggest others FK members may choose to do the same to save sanity for now.
