Sorry X -ey/HR

This is the first day after the death of my goldfish X-ey(pronounced X, then E), named so because he/she/it was used in an experiment to turn it white, though for some reason it died. The story(it took place yesterday) goes like this:

Some time ago, I read on the back on a Snapple cap that if you keep a goldfish in a dark room, it will turn white(real fact #34 if im not wrong). And, I mean, this can't be wrong, right? It was on the cap of an extremely popular brand of drink!
And so I decided to buy a goldfish. The actual purchase took place I think a week or two after the momumental epiphany, due to time restraints and frickin NCC. So then my and Syakir went together to some fish shop near our school. I bought a goldfish for 1.80 and he bought some terrapin food for 3.00. The goldfish was in a plastic bag which was like ¼ water and ¾pure oxygen(he used one of those oxygen tank things) then my mum fetched me home and I put the goldfish in a tupperware thing but i thought it was like way too small so i transferred it into a bigger one, then I realised I didn't get fish food so I didn't know what to feed it. So I asked around, and the general answer was that bread was OK. So I pinch of a really really small piece(it was really small, like this strange symbol ► <= life size. really.) and dropped it in but it didn't eat the bread so I tried moving the bread closer to its mouth and eventually it ate it then I put it in a storeroom(it has ventilation) and closed the door. Some time later, I took it out just to see if it was eating and stuff, and it seemed fine(it was constantly swimming to the corners but it had been doing it since the time I bought it so it was fine) so I like changed the water(it just seemed right to me) and I put it back in. The rest of my day went on. Then at night, as I was playing warcraft3, I remembered my goldfish and went to check it. I took it out. It was upside down. I tried putting it back upright but for some reason it turned itself back upside down again. It seemed like it was trying to commit suicide or pretend it was dead or something. My mum threw it down the rubbish chute. What made it worse was that this afternoon my teacher was talking about students doing some stuff to one of the fish in our school pond and it died, and how cruel it was. Greeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.

In a completely unrelated topic, is it wrong to do something nice for someone? I did for some guy, then he said I was weird. So why should I do something if it isn't appreciated at all? I guess I won't then...
