Love to see growth

Those fish ended up dying but they bought a much larger tank and did their research and cycled it properly. they then got a betta named tana mongeau who i believe is doing great from the last video i saw.

Both good for the fish (although not these two unfortunately) and his lungs.

I think it was on here a while ago that I saw a dude post about how getting pet shrimp helped him turn his life around, taking care of another living thing has a way of making you realize things about taking care of yourself I guess

Edit: this one

I'm autistic and I use aquarism as a way to regulate myself, and I know other autistic people who do the same

It’s really good you have an outlet for your struggles. Fish are super calming even for people without autism

her current fish is actually in a good tank and is much healthier, she won these ones at a faire and was trying despite not knowing. most people only see fish in a bowl so they dont know proper care. after these ones didnt do well she did the research to be better. that sounds like someone who cares.

Saw the post on Instagram a couple days ago and the OP was getting their panties in a twist because I commented that the fish deserve a better tank lol. They were going off on me about how these two were in a better setup now. Apparently not if they've since passed. Poor guys.
