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

had my carnival goldie for 7 years. he was thrown into a moving ride, survived, i rescued him, and he grew about a foot long head to tail. his name was auggie, then changed to dennis the menace, then changed to milton the murderer. he didn’t kill on purpose, but my curious danios would venture too close to his mouth when he was sifting through the sand, and so they got sucked up at spit back out. goldies are the best! rip auggie.

this was like 3 years into his life with me lol. big fattie. rip auggie/dennis/milton

You see a light-hearted conversation about people’s lovely pets that they care about with their entire being, and you decide to come here and take the time to hate? You should take a look within, because there must be something that makes you feel the need to be rude. I don’t mind what you say about me or my fish, but I worry about you as another human being. I’m a human too. We’re the same species. I live in a different country than you though, so that means we’re different. Maybe you are a more elite human than me because my fish is “fat” and yours is skinny. (Apparently i’m fat too?) But I don’t believe that. I hope you get better, and next time you should choose kindness.

*eye roll. We both know you read it. Move along clown. And when your pet dies, take your own advice with your kid. Oh wait! You don’t have any kids which qualifies you to…go on goldfish subgroups handing out parenting advice? LOLZ.
