    I think the Fish didn't adapt to the new environment, and with so many in there the environment could not sustain all of them, so they all down from lack of nutrients. -Jesse

    The environment in our system seemed unable to sustain such large organisms, plus the heat of the sun (indirect) was a large factor in the deaths of the fish. -Jadon

    My fish haven't died, but the four fish seem to group together in two groups. Maybe they're in love! - Brina

    My fish probably died because of the heat. The lack of nutrients could have done it too. - Avery

    Brinas fish are not in love and wont have baby fish. ever. because they'll die first like Romeo and Juliet. i will play frier lawrence and make them die.

    My fish, Bill, Ted, Van Halen and rufus, are alive and well, as are my snails gingus kahn, abraham lincon, billy the kid, Missy and socrates. They look bored so im going to give Van Halen an electric guitar for kekoiks birthday. But i think they are going to die soon. It is only a matter of time before they eat all of the plants (that dont have roots) in the container.
