Goldfish
UPDATE:
Thank you everyone for replying.
I now have some small fish and a contact for more down the track potentially.
All sorted now :-)

Does anyone know where I can get a lot of pond goldfish for free or as cheap as possible in Lower Hutt?
I came home to find 13 out of my 24 pond fish deceased last night – I have no idea what has happened as I've never had any issues with them before.
They were all aged between 5 & 10 years, so possibly died of natural causes (as just the smallest & youngest are left). It just seems very odd they all went belly-up at the same time! It also could be that a cat had a swiping session. I thoroughly cleaned out the pond last night just to be safe and the 11 survivors are still okay today. If you have some small goldfish you are happy to let go free to a good home I can take them.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
