thank you for joining c'::::: please do share photos of the koi pond!! i love koi ponds, too, ahhhh
i hate it when people keep koi in dirty water/bad habitats, but that kind of goes for any animal, really.

yikes! i hate that too. there's a koi pond beside this hectic market i always go to, and it's so incredible how they keep the pond nice and fresh even with so many customers coming in. it's so cute to see all the kids watch the koi pond too! c:

🐙Funny Fish🐙

this is no more that a question than it is a story.
I used to have two gold fish. They where "sisters" or as some may say best friends. they had a small tank and got on quiet well.one day the younger "sister" jumped out her tank. i didn't find her until 3 mins later. she had jumped into my shoe. so i put her back in her tank hoping she was okay. she sank straigh to the bottam. her back fin had "fuzed" to isself. she couldn't swim,eat do anything.Her "sister" kept swiming round her. then. she "Lay" by her sister. pushing against her and "biting" at her fin untill she could swim again.
i had to sell them later on but ever since that day. they became closer as "sisters."
hehe, hope you liked that little true story there. thought you'd like it :3

aww that's always so sad when you move and can't take a fishy with you.
But, sometimes it's for the best, it stresses them out too much.

I know that all too well - my poor fish were moved around quite a lot earlier in the year.
Moved from my parents place into an apartment. Apartment had a flood (not our fault) and we ended our lease, so the tank went back to stay at my parents house, then finally moving into the house i'm in now, and once again moving the fishies.

Thankfully throughout that entire process i only lost 2 fish, a sumo loach, my Albino bristlenose pleco, and one of my Pygmy corydoras.
Well, technically 3 fish, but one of them had nothing to do with the move.
Lost my betta, angel.
But, i guess i'm kinda weird with bettas. I adopt the sick ones with dirty water and god knows what else wrong with them. I've gotten ones with Ich, bacterial infections, fin rot, etc.
This little guy had dropsy - which there is no known cure for.
Basically their internal organs shut down and their body fills up with fluid. It's quite sad. i don't believe there is a known cause for it either.
But, i wanted him to have a life where he lived in a great tank, was fed yummy food, and just had a much better quality of life.

He lasted around 3 months, and was happy - that's all i can really ask for.

With Barney, his water was almost brown at the store i got him at, and his "cup" was split, so the "cup" was only half filled. He also had fin rot, and has a bit of a wonky jaw. Idk how to explain the jaw other than that. lol. it goes to the side a bit, so it's hard for him to eat food. you gotta be patient and feed him a little at a time, right in front of him. He gets pellets, as well as Brine occasionally. I spoon feed him the brine. <3
But, he's doing much better now His fins are healing up well, and he's getting some more weight on him from being able to eat. <3
