Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, was very chilly. My little sister felt sorry for my two goldfish swimming in the cold water. She decided to put them in hot water. They died. FML
Today, I won a goldfish at the amusement park. My little brother took him out of the bowl because he thought he was drowning. FML
Today, my 9 year-old little sister is coming back to town with the rest of my family. She specifically asked me to feed her fish. I totally forgot until she called me 10 minutes ago to tell me she was on her way home and couldn't wait to see her fishie. He's dead. FML
Today, my little sister put me in charge of keeping her fighting fish alive. It would've been an easy task if it weren't for my crazy ex-boyfriend drunkenly forcing his way into my house, vomiting into the fishbowl and killing the fish. Only ten more hours until my family gets home. FML
Today, my pet fish died because my drunk father microwaved it. FML
Today, my friend is furious with me because while I was watching her various fish for two weeks, I failed to feed her favorite fish and it died. The reason I didn't take care of it was because she never told me she had it, that it was in her room unlike the rest of the fish, so I never saw it. FML
Today, while doing some spring cleaning, I found the remains of my goldfish, which I was sure my cat ate last year. FML
Today, I received a few new fish for my aquarium as presents for my birthday. It just so happened that these fish were carrying diseases that left me with a tank full of dead fish. Happy birthday. FML
Today, I excitedly showed my new roommate my pet fish. She then told me about how she purposely starved her last fish to see how long it would take before they started eating each other before starving to death. FML
Today, I went to see a fortune teller. She said one of my closest friends will die soon because of me. Frightened I hurried home to avoid meeting anyone I know. At home I found my goldfish floating on its back. Apparently I forgot to feed my closest friend for the past 3 days. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I killed six goldfish when I was younger. I think I fed them too much.

It probably died due to you not having proper living conditions. l:

Hey, she has a good sense of humour. Better a fish than a dog or a cat.

That is false! They don't grow to what they are comfortable with, due to their given space. If you put a fish that is suppose to naturally grow to 1-2 feet long into a small tank/death bowl, its body will be forced to stop growing, but its organs will continue to grow until they are squished to death from the inside. Gold fish should live 20+yrs. In fact most fish should live 10+yrs (some do naturally have shorter lives). This also goes for those cute baby turtles. Those cute little Red Eared Sliders can grow to over a foot long & weight over 7lbs. Every inch of shell length needs a min of 10gal of water. Like goldfish, they don't like dirty water & as adults should only be fed once every 3 days. These turtles like most live 40+yrs.

Used to happen to me but for some fish you have to add some conditioner stuff from pet stores to their water hope it helps:)

I think it died of being a goldfish. They tend to do that kind of thing quite easily.

Not unknown causes. Do frequent water changes (ie daily) to reduce the toxic ammonia they produce as waste. And don't over feed.

Maybe if people actually researched their pets before buying them, and then spent the time, dedication, and money needed to keep them happy and healthy, they might not die so easily. Just a thought.

Any type of fish needs a tank with a filtration system and WATER CONDITIONER!!! the "unknown" fact might have been the water. It has nickel ams other UNseen things that could kill an aquatic animal
