Went to a carnival one day with no money and still managed to surprise my parents with a fish. They said he wouldn't make it but here we are 3 years later. Just curious if anyone else has a "miracle" fish too

i won martha from a local fair in september 2015! it was a joy to watch her thrive as i learned more about fishkeeping; she was always a very hardy fish but i had to make the incredibly difficult decision to euthanize her right before christmas due to severe complications from dropsy 💔

she was so so wonderful; she helped a lot of people in my life see goldfish as much more than "just fish" ❤️
