Go steal the aquarium.  They're not gonna last long living in your coffee mugs.

Yeah, seriously.

Anybody know anything about fish?
Delicious deep-fried in batter with chips, salt and vingar, and a nice cup of tea.  :bowler:

You need to work out if they're tropical, in which case you need a heated aquarium and the food will be different. They will definitely need an air pump.

Think of them as presents for your cat.

Does it look like this?

Yup.  Exactly that.  Some sort of algae eater or something?

Anyway, I've decided to go back to Petco, and buy a proper aquarium later on.  I just grabbed them to save them in case the owners came back this weekend for their shit, but it doesn't look like they will.  Their previous aquarium is all cruddy and broken, and it ain't coming into my house.

So, I've got a shitload of new fish.  Nary a floater yet, and they are some bouncy fuckers, but they need a proper home.

Syt: They all appear to be your various basic goldfish types.  Nothing exotic.

Damn, I wanted hijinx.

Well, I did manage to impress the cute new girl who moved in across the way;  she thought it was sweet to save the fish.

OK, looking at some pics, I've identified some of them.

Common goldfish (goldbarbs, maybe)
Assorted swordtails
some possible African Knifefish, I can't really tell.

Be careful not to wash anything with detergent that comes into contact with the water, btw, unless you rinse very, very thoroughly. Some fish react very sensitively if their biosphere isn't what it's supposed to be.
