Haha he loves having all that room back! So satisfying to see him bouncing all over the tank and chasing his lady. Look how his fin perks up when she swims by! Hahaha. Lady’s man.
Thanks so much for all your support fish people of tumblr. he is a very lucky dropsy case. I had to post a video to show how happy he is! I hope it stays that way! Going to be handling him with kid gloves forever now. He has so much personality and caring for him on his own and having him living right behind my desk for weeks has given me a special connection with him. <3
Puttin’ Jules back in the big tank today! Here’s hoping he doesn’t relapse. I have another tank ready to be set up as a permanent residence just in case but he’d be much happier in the 55 with the other fish and I had plans for that other tank. :/
He’s got his horny stars and is getting restless. He keeps splashing me while I try to sew! he’s got to go! lol I need that space to iron! XD
The koi and goldfish in my mall’s waaaay overstocked indoor pond are dying off apparently. There are only 2 left. This one was always my favorite (reminds me of the luck dragon from Neverending Story as cheesy as that sounds) and has dropsy and septicemia. I doubt it will be there next time I visit. :(. Poor fishy.
Holy shit that tank is disgusting! Where were they?!
My aunt and uncle and cousins house. They were on vacation for the week and my parents had to house sit. My dad told me the tank was dirty, so I offered to clean it. Instead I took them both home and set up my spare tanks for them.
Awww! Those poor fish!
At least its because the owners were away, and not just blatant neglect.
Um, that is blatant neglect. Even if they were home that tank is inhumane, and if you go on vacation you find someone to do your water changes.
Your relatives are on my shit list.
Agreed ^^^ and IMHO, that tank looks like it’s been neglected for longer than a week. Unless it was already dirty and your parents also grossly overfed or something? Those floating solids, the grime and mineral buildup :/ I had that exact “tank” when I was a nublet fishkeeper in my late teens and it never looked that bad. Yuck.
Glad you’re trying to rescue them at least. Hopefully your aunt and uncle won’t think you’ll be there to rescue them from their bad fishkeeping from now on.
Those filthy “tanks” look way too small for those bettas. Was there even a filter system installed?
Naw it’s just one of those plastic divided things that gives each fish maybe a cup of water.
It’s one of those awful duel betta tank style things. Buying one of these things is a sign of a bad fishkeeper from the get go.
