Today, I was walking to the pet store to buy a month's worth of fish food for my fish so I wouldn't have to come back for a while. For fish food it was expensive. It was also surprisingly heavy and I had to carry it back to my house. When I got home, I saw my fish floating at the top of its bowl. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I bought a new Siamese Fighting Fish. I was so happy with my new fish so I bought him an expensive lovely bowl, some weeds, and a toy for the bowl. I left the room to get the fish food. When I returned, the fish was gone, and the cat was sitting on the table. FML
Today, I bought a fish. I put the tank on top of the fridge so my cat wouldn't get at it. I'd forgotten to buy some things for its tank, so I quickly ran out to get them. When I got home, I saw the tank destroyed on the floor, and my cat devouring my fish. I had the fish for less than an hour. FML
Today, I bought a new goldfish. While leaving my fish on my balcony to go get fish food, I hear a loud squawk and splash, I race outside to see a bird flying off with my fish. FML
Today, I went to the supermarket; it was taking me ages to walk home because of the heavy food bags. Halfway home, I realised I had gone in my car. I had to walk all the way back to get my car. FML
Today, my mom was criticizing how I can't handle taking care of any living thing because I'm too irresponsible. We had a huge argument so I went back to my apartment, only to find that my fish had died. I forgot I had a fish. FML
Today, I heard a loud crashing noise. I ran into the kitchen to see what it was. My cat had knocked over my fish bowl and had my Beta in her mouth. After scolding her and rescuing it, I decided to clean its bowl. When I went to dump some of the water in the sink, my fish went down the drain. FML
Today, I came home to my boyfriend emptying his bowels into my aquarium. FML
Today, two of my daughter's fish died after owning them for a year. Yesterday I spent $400 on a new bigger fish tank so that they would be happier. I built the stand, set it up, and got everything running. All I had to do was let it run for a week so that the pH would be fine for them, and then move them across. FML
Today, I woke up in my living room after having a party. I then realized my fish tank with many different species was missing from its usual spot. After searching for a few minutes, I finally found it in the freezer. FML
Today, I bought a fish bowl and a fish for $15. I brought him home and sat him on my desk. Everything was going well until the shelf gave out and his bowl slid off of the shelf... onto my $2,000 computer. The computer is fried and is not covered by the insurance, the fish is fine. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I think you've been using DOG FOOD to feed your fish. That pretty much explains everything you said.

YOUR FISH MIGHT NOT BE DEAD. Just because its floatin at the top of the bowl doesn't mean its dead, could mean its just ill, or its eaten too much. Do not dispose of it yet! give it about 3 days!

jeez why do you need to buy that much i had 9 fish and 18 babies and like number 12 said i had a small little can that lasted about 4 months. :D

that isnt true. i months worth of fish food isnt heavy like dog food-its just a little container, and its obviously not a big fish if its in a bowl. and if by some really crazy chance this is true, heres an idea: get a new fish to overfeed/

I got one of those goldfish you win at the fair. usually, they die a couple days later, no matter how much you try to take care of them. well, I had one live for 10 years, and I could go almost two weeks without feeding him! seriously. he was evil, too.

lol at "he was evil, too". I require further explanation was your fish the spawn of satan?

1: Fish food is not expensive. A large container of Tetramin, which can feed a 100-gallon tank of fish for a YEAR only costs about $12. Even higher quality food, like Hikari, does not cost that much. 2: It does not weigh that much. The heaviest fish food I know of are pond-pellets, which you wouldn't be buying unless you had multiple koi and, obviously, a pond. 3: Fish do not need fed every day. A month's supply of fish food for a single fish could easily fit in a bottlecap. They can be fed once every other day and still be VERY healthy. In fact, a healthy fish can go a whole week without food. 4: The only fish that can be kept in a bowl is a Betta, because of their labyrinth organ. Though this FML doesn't specify what kind of fish it is, Bettas are still affected by high levels of ammonia in the water if overfed. If it's a goldfish, then you're just like most of the idiots in the world who thinks a goldfish can be kept in a bowl without generous amounts of filtration and water changes. Seriously, if this isn't a fake, YDI. Do the world a favor and either do some research and buy a proper fish tank or just don't ever buy a fish again.

You don't need buckets of chum for a goldfish, Captain Quint!

When fish becomes floaters, most often they have been overfed and are not actually dead.

RIP fish, and RIP stuffed cat from the other FML. Anyone thinking what I'm thinking? Now go feed it to the stuffed cat. Or even better, stuff the fish and put it back in the water. Wow. And what the hell are you feeding it?! Since when is fish food heavy?? Poor fish.. Maybe it's better off dead -.- If you want a pet that you can feed that much, just buy a horse??

And kill the horse too?

Uhh.. I think the meant to say whale. I doubt fish food is that heavy, costs much, AND that you need to buy a century's supply of fish food. Like what the heck?? o.O] OMG!! IT'S A WHALE!! xD
