He's been laying at the bottom of the tank now, moving only to eat, for a while, and now he's not even moving much. Just breathing. Gasping for water with his dying fishy breaths.
Last night I hand fed him. (he laid there while I put my hand in the water and dropped pellets by his face, then he'd suck them up like a vacuum).
Sigh. I hate this part about having fish. Watching them die. Wanting to put them out of their misery, but not wanting to kill them, either.
Stupid Spike. Why do you have to die so soon?
Is he a standard gold fish or a fan tail? year and half is a pretty short life span. Gold fish can seem almost immortal in the wild. Check with the fish store (not a pet store but an actual aquarium store) sometimes they can nurse those little buggers back to life. Sometimes its just a vitamin de-fish_ency (see what I did there) and you can just drop some tabs or drops in the water.
Sorry lady, losing a pet of any sort is always heart breaking. *hugs*
He was a 99c feeder fish I got - so I have no idea. He was only an inch long when I got him and he's almost 8" now.
Forgive my gigglesnort but... 8" is worth saving.4 -

My sister had a goldfish in a gallon jar. She cleaned the jar and changed the water like twice a year (seriously!). That goldfish lived for around 7 years. There were times you could barely see the fish for all the green stuff growing. But apparently the fish liked it.2 -
My 13-year-old just asked me if farts are explosive. So I had to say, “Please don’t light your *kitten* on fire.” This is life with boys.9

I went a bit too long in between water changes and I'm worried that is what made him sick.

Of all the times I've tried to light my farts on fire only one actually caught. Usually I just blow out the flame.2

A beautiful story on the news.
A mystery Queensland man called up his local Toyworld in Gympie, Queensland with a surprise that’s shocked shoppers and the store.
The man, who wishes to remain anonymous, paid off all the outstanding Christmas lay-bys at the store.
What a lovely thing to do..

What's not on my mind? Ugh I'm struggling since Tuesday. This week was going hectic with work and stressful in general already, but last night was the worst.
At 02:00 am at night someone hit our parked van and it looks like it's gonna be scrap. (I don't know how to say that but the van is a total mess) The person that caused the accident, it looks like they were very fast and hit some other car first,(made them spiral around) then a tree(ruptured from the root) and finally as a stop point our van(got hit from the front, motor section). Thank God nobody is hurt only the vehicles and we have insurance and all but it still is very though situation to be in. Sometimes trouble comes even when you are not looking for it. What can I say.

Holy crap, that is horrendous! So sad to hear that happened to you. 😕 Thankfully you have insurance, but that only covers so much... And so close to Christmas... It's totally understandable why it's on your mind.
Here's hoping you are able to sleep tonight. ❤️3 -

Thank you for the supportive words. 🙏
It is very tough, but I'm still thankful nobody got harmed seriously. I don't want to think what would happen if the accident was in day time.4 -
Do you guys block creeps?
Just hit me funny, today.

Canadian01: You're amazing.

If you know the life of a Canadian kid younger than 10, this is very meta. If you don't you'll need to trust me. But how hard can that possibly be anyway...I'm Canadian 🤷🏾♀️

Are there fewer adoptable dogs (small) where you live?
My ex MIL has been looking to adopt through the statewide network for quite a while and the vast majority of dogs for adoption are pit or part pit.
Pits aren’t my point tho,
my point is that there are hardly any small adoptable dogs in the whole darn state.
Very bizarre. 🤔3 -
