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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

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.

YDI for having an invisible fish. I agree with the evolution fail fish statement!

Well, you're dad's an idiot - even if it's an understandable mistake (which it is), there's almost no reason that he should be taking care of it for you. Then again, if you happened to let it go and your father cleaned the tank out of disgust, then I'm afraid this is a YDI. Anyway, unless you paid a bundle for that one fish, it shouldn't be too difficult to replace.

Oh yea, because you clearly were very emotionally attached to that fish and its personality and there's no way you can go out and buy another fish just like it. No, totally impossible

I agree, your life sucks. Not because you lost your fish, but because you think your life sucks because you lost your fish :)

It's a ******* fish. Big whoop. At least it wasn't a puppy or something actually worth having as a pet and not something meant to be eaten. That would have been FYL.

okay people who are saying "its just a fish get over it" dont seem to undertsand that although it is a fish it DOES have a right to live! and the owner of the fish obviously did have a strong attachment to the fish. just because its smaller then a dog or other animal and you cant touch it doesnt make it so its less loveable!!

Yeah, fish deserve to live, alright... So that they can be fried and put on a plate.
