Did you make a mistake with your fish?
Take a deep breath. It’s okay. We all make mistakes.
You are not a bad owner.
You are learning.
If you’re not sure, ask for advice! I know I personally love seeing all the fish on here and if anyone needs help, my ask is always open.
Making a mistake doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have fish, it means that you can learn something and move on.
You can do this. It’s okay. I believe in you.

I really needed this right now…
As few of you know I’ve started keeping fish for the first time in my adult life. It stated with a rescue mission of a red and white betta that was labeled ‘king crown male’ at a walmart. He was I bad shape and my wife was really upstart over him so we rushed astound to get the equipment we needed. He seemed to blossom in a 5 gallon planted tank, but only lived a week and a half at most. So that’s fish number one.
Fish numbers 2-6 that i lost were danios we’d gotten to be tank mates for our new betta (dumbo half moon male) I’d gotten 2 types of danios, all the striped ones died first. Then 3 golden. And now i have a single surviving golden danio who seems to be best buddies with Altier the betta.
I’ve never lost pets before and was devastated. And i felt stupid because they were just fish. But i cared a lot.
