All of my fancy goldfish died when I was gone because my grandfather overfed them even though we told him not to touch the food because he's senile and doesn't remember anything and stuff. I came home to fish so rotten they were bloated and floating and fell apart as they took them out of the tank. I had to hold my breath and get them outside ASAP. The overfeeding caused an ammonia spike and dropped the pH way too low for goldish (they like 7.2 or some crap and it was below 6.0, lol). Imagine dumping acid and ammonia into a fish tank. That's what the excess decaying food and fish waste caused. I changed the water today and it was like working with a dangerous disease or something. I hope I didn't catch anything while sucking on the siphon to make the water start coming out. I've done this shit before, so whatever. I got it done. Fuuuuuuuck it was so gay. The two armored hoplo catfish I had in there that are ~10 years old? They refused to die when everything else died and the water become the equivalent of hydrochloric acid and ammonia with some water diluting it...and this is not the first time they did that. I shall name them Oswin and Hector and consider them to have an A support with each other. |

I'm very sorry for your loss. I had gold fish one time. I think I over fed them, and their stomachs exploded or something, because they literally eat till they die. |

I remember when I was little my cousin's friend had fish. I was 5 I think, and I said "I'll feed fish." Opened up the thing and poured it all in. Pour little bastards turned into flakes themselves I think, since they ate so much |

I had a bottom feeder fish that was older than I was until I put soap in the tank. Obviously, I wasn't that old rofl, so it probably isn't that big of an accomplishment. ![]() I'm glad Oswin and Hector at least survived. Sorry about your other fishies. :[ |

Those kinds of catfish are actually pretty resiliant. I'm sure my tank levels are waaaay off but my fish seem fine (in the second tank). And I found out that the water heater hasn't been working at all but the fish are still alive. XD. Have 3 porthole catfish and 2 angel fish in that tank I think my bichirs ate my oplaine guarami in my large tank o__o |

I remember my mum baked one alive by leaving it under a light for like 5 hours when I was younger. I never really got another pet after that. It's a shame your fish died but at least some survived right? |

Uh, ammonia is a base. [/chem major] If anything, ammonia is going to raise the pH. Still sorry for your loss, despite the scientific inconsistency. |

Ammonia isn't the only thing that affects the pH, guys. The pH test kit said it was 6.0 or lower, and there was also a high ammonia level. I've been doing this shit for almost as long as some of you have been alive. I'm pretty sure I didn't mess up. |

Sucks to be your fish in your grandfather's care. But Oswin and Hector, badass. Condolences, but at least you have some unkillable catfish.

I dunno Light, this way I never get attached to them and remain the heartless wreck unable of loving anyone except himself that I am. In all seriousness I would only get a dog and I don't think I could deal with it dying on me.
