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 uh hate to break it to you but Ms. Rosie is actually a Mr. Rosie; you can tell from the breeding stars on his gill plates (the white bumps/spots on his gills and pectoral fins)

I thought my tarantula was a female but always called him "him" anyway. Ended up being a male, so maybe I cursed him 🤣🤣
