Yup. They are dead.
Like 45 goldfish all dead. (5 of them are little survivors though).
When kids come in today and start saying "Where are the goldfish???" I'm going to say "Oh no, today is the day we set up your tanks, we will put the goldfish in there tomorrow." IT WAS THE PLAN ALL ALONG NO GOLDFISH WERE HARMED. (They were all harmed.)
My wife was gone all day, leaving me to my own fish-related devices. When she came back I told her about the fish this was our exchange:
"Did you de-chlorinate the tap water?"
"Wut."
"You need to go to goldfish school."
So apparently putting goldfish in tapwater is like putting a person in a room filled with trace amounts of chlorine gas (and some ammonia too). I mean, maybe they'll survive but its like a 90% mortality rate.
The 50 chirpy crickets I got are all fine though.
