A month on and 2 out of 3 of the new goldfish have died, and all the remaining goldfish are infected with Crustacean parasite, Lernaea (Anchor Worms) - which can only have come from the infected fish, and could only have been the fish from Pets at Home establishment.

Three is after all the magic number....
