Today, I woke up to find my best friend lying down and unresponsive. Frightened, I tapped on the glass. He got scared and started swimming again. My best friend is a fish. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, I was woken up by my phone alarm blaring at full volume. I grabbed it to hit snooze, but in my half-asleep state, I accidentally threw it across the room. It hit the wall, bounced off, and landed in my fish tank. My fish is fine. My phone is not. FML
Today, my 5 year old fish died. As I was flushing him, he started swimming again. FML
Today, I woke up and checked my fish tank. I thought the temperature was too low, so half asleep, I turned it up. Now all my fish are dead. FML
Today, I was at a friend's pool party. He lives on a lake and one of our friends wouldn't get in the water. My best friend and I decided to push him off the dock. Once we had, I turned to see my crush who had watched looked shocked, then said, "You know he can't swim right?" 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 won a goldfish at the amusement park. My little brother took him out of the bowl because he thought he was drowning. FML
Today, while swimming under water, my 80-pound lab thought I was drowning and tried to "rescue" me by jumping in after me, wrapping his front legs around my neck, and standing on my chest. FML
Today, I came home to a dead fish duct-taped to the wall of my dorm room. I can't reach it. FML
Today, I nearly drowned. I was at a wave pool for the first time and stupidly swam out to the deep end. When the waves turned on, I discovered I can't swim in rough water. Despite my yelling, "Help!" and flailing around, the lifeguard paid me no attention. My friend had to save me. FML

SWEETPEA22 - You will need a fin rot medication to treat the rot. IF your fish is in anything less than 5 gallons minimum, you are killing your fish ( see previous post on bettas ) No more no less. You need to move the fish to a 5 gallon tank if you have not done so already . A brand new 5 gallon clear plastic storage tub that is food safe will be a perfect temporary tank ( these are very cheap and most homeware stores will sell them ) move all of the tankwater over to the tub, and top up with dechlorinated fresh water of the same temperature. Do not add gravel in the temporary tub-tank. Make sure to have a bunch of silk plants for the fish to hide in. Sick fish hide more to feel safer. A coconut

Well at least you can say you have a best friend.

Sorry that meant to read a coconut cave is also fine. It will take around a month or so to fully treat the rot. You will need gentle filtration and weekly 25 % water changes. All fish require filtration and weekly water changes for the duration of life, as a matter of course. Just like you would clean out a rabbit or hamster regularly to keep the housing free of pee and poo, exactly the same for fish.

Sorry to go on but I feel the same way about fish and their mistreatment , as others do about the mistreatment of conventional 4 legged animals such as cats and dogs. Fish are amongst the most negelected and mistreated pets kept by people today. Goldfish and betts are the most popular and biggest sufferers of cruelty. Also please do not buy fish as a childrens pet. They<are complex creatures with very specific needs that a child cannot understand. most species need an optimum temperature , a certain diet ( goldfish need more vegetable matter, bettas are carnivores for example ) and water quality needs to be maintained by water changes and testing with liquid test kits. Consequemtly they are not suitable for children to take care of.

If we continue to give rights to less and less intelligent organizsms, when will we stop? You are already well past sentience. Cockroaches? Earthworms? Fleas? Tapeworms? Grass? Bacteria? HIV?

125; if you're going to assume responsibility for a 'less than sentient being', then it is YOUR job to do your research so the animal YOU bought and YOU decided to care for isn't suffering a slow and agonizing death; I have hermit crabs, and when doing the research for what they need versus what many are provided, I was appalled. I'm not saying give 'rights' to 'less than sentient' creatures, but if you're going to take in an animal, do the research- don't just trust the source you got the animal from. If everyone took the time to educate themselves, cruelty to smaller animals wouldn't be as big an issue as it is.

You should join a swim team, then you'd have a lot of friends who are "fishes". And you'd see a lot of ass from the ladies ;D
