O Crap my fish are dead

Question
I bought 12 small goldfish and put them in a 10 gallon aquarium I seen that there where dead fish on the filter but did they die a natral death or did thay die because of my filter sucking them onto it. Also I have a bubble blower and it could of made a strong current. and tired thenm out.  

Answer
Hi Chris,
 Despite what most people think, goldfish are actually a rather difficult fish to keep alive.  They need cool water. It is unlikely that they died from the filter -- they just ended up there.  Twelve fish in a 10 gallon tank is a lot of fish by the way.

 It is highly possible that the goldfish were not that healthy to begin with when you got them.  That is very common with goldfish.
