Today, my dad decided to clean my 20 gallon fish tank. I had 6 fish. One of them was called a transparent fish, clear with a bright orange tail, which was my favorite. My dad didn't see it, and dumped the water out along with it. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I spent almost two hours cleaning my fish tank, only to find out that my cat had secretly eaten all of my fish while I was cleaning the tank. FML
Today, my fish's tank was all green and nasty, but I had no time to clean it because I woke up late, so the job was left to my mom. When I came back, the water level seemed high, and the fish looked a little strange, so I asked my mom what she did. She said "I cleaned the tank with chlorine!" 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 found my brand new tropical fish dead in its tank because my boyfriend got drunk last night and decided to pour red wine into the aquarium. FML
Today, I came home to my boyfriend emptying his bowels into my aquarium. FML
Today, my 5 year old fish died. As I was flushing him, he started swimming again. 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, against my wishes, my son snuck out of my house to go partying. When he came home, I called him in so I could properly discipline him. While I was talking, he staggered to our fish tank, pulled open the lid, and vomited straight into it. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

There are no fish called "transparent fish". There are glass fish, which are not completely transparent and if you're seeing it with a bright orange tail, it was probably dyed. Either way, your father shouldn't be cleaning your fish tank by "dumping" it out, which would be stressful to the fish and harmful to the tank's bacteria colonies. He should have been using a siphon which, when used correctly in the gravel, will not suck up fish. YDI for probably making all this up. And BTW, for all who are arguing, there are hundreds of published books and reports that use the term "fishes" as a plural for "fish". It can indeed work both ways.

I love the grammar trolls xD telling the op they deserve it because they used improper plurals. yes, I used the plural "they" in lieu of a singular pronoun: what now, bitches?! what now?!

There's no such thing as a "transparent fish" dumbass. And you shouldn't be dumping out water to clean your tank.

There's things very close to it. It was probably slightly translucent.

She wasn't the one dumping the water, her dad was. Duh. Op, I'm sorry about your fish...my mom went to clean out my fish tank, which had my beloved fair prize goldfish that had been living for a little over a year! She put some weird "good energy" rock in it and the next day the fish was dead :( rip Herbert

"'fishes'?? what the hell is fishes!" oh God, because of that one error, none of the fml even makes sense anymore! think of the children! dear God, someone please think of the children! the use of two question marks is redundant, by the way; maybe you could put one of those bad boys at the end of your second question. I see you decided an exclamation point would work better. have a nice day :]

I think YDI because your dad was most likely cleaning it because it was dirty and probably had been that way for a while. If you had cleaned your own tank, there wouldn't have been a problem.
