Fish Woes

Oh my God, I’m googling on how to take care of Tubby and ARGH it’s such a headache! Apparently I’m not even supposed to keep goldfish in a fish bowl in the first place but a tank with a filter instead because goldfish are too dirty and they need a tonne of space. Plus, the water is starting to look pretty cloudy only after a few days which is making me doubt that changing the water only once a week is sufficient. Some websites say that 25% of the water must be changed whereas other websites say 50%. Then, I looked at the solution that’s meant to be added to the new water before putting the fish in it – the back of the bottle says 5ml for every 5 gallons of new water (which is more or less 16 or 18 litres) but the guy told me to add HALF A CAP-FULL for my fish bowl that, I roughly gauge, is barely 2 litres big. WHAT?! Plus, this may just be me being paranoid, but I think Tubby is starting to look a little panicky today.

HOW?! I DON’T WANT TUBBY TO DIE!! WHY WAS THE FISH GUY SO AMBIGUOUS?!
