I cleaned his tank a few days ago, and now I'm worried I might've did something wrong, but I had made sure that I followed every recommendation and direction given to me.

SUMMER STAYCATION 2017: Cleaned the fish tank! I had these guys for more than 3yrs and with this past year of being so busy, I nearly neglected them. But we made it! Cleaned their fishtank and though they responded with stress, I am proud to say they are still with me.

You go to a friend's house and they know you like fish, so they show you their betta in a 0.5 gallon bowl and it's severely bloated and having swim bladder issues and is stress striping and lethargic, and you have to fight the urge to tell them everything they're doing wrong in fear of losing new friends and just go "If I get you a 5 gallon tank would you move him to it? I promise he'll be happier and you'll have to do water changes less!"

Also to anyone curious, one of my goldfish only has one eye and low-key a pirate named Ai. As in ai-ai or aye-aye however it’s said “captain.”

Update on fins! I got him a heater, a filter, and a new house! Oh and a thermometer so I can see if his water level is healthy! I’m a good fish parent I swear!
