View Full Version : I think I just killed my former boss's fish

my former boss changed locations and he left his fish behind. Noone was feeding it but me and it's water was getting nasty.
I've never had a fish so I asked him how to change the water and he said to use the filtered water we have.
Well, I emptied all the water and replaced it and put the fish back in and it got very motionless.
I'll check back up on it but by the looks of it, I'm pretty sure it croaked.

Erm, you haven't overfed it, have you? Sometimes they do that, I heard. But yeah, it's probably dead. Perhaps the new water you put the fish in was too cold and shocked it to death.

no I fed it very little amounts of food. I'm thinking the water is too cold cause it came from a water cooler with the filtration system.
Yep, it hasn't moved. Just kinda laying on its side wiggling its fins.
Merry Christmas fishie!

It should be room temp by now.
I'll just let it croak. I don't even know why he wanted a fish if he wasn't gonna take care of it and leave it behind.

it's doing just fine now. I wonder where I can find a leash small enough to take it for a walk.

my mum bought 12 fish like two weeks ago and half of them died by now because of different reasons
they remind me of lemmings
i think they are too much trouble, cost too much, too much work and you need almost to study to do everything right and for what? you cant even cuddle with those bastards!

and i think you shouldnt change all of the water, leave some of the old one because the fish needs the bacterias in it

This is the last time I help with it. I read that you need to change or partially change the water every two weeks. I'll still feed it but this guy better come and pick up his damn fish.
Even though it's a stupid little fish, I hate to see animals suffer. I should let my former boss swim in his own shit for a month and see how he likes it.
Edit: I mean change the water twice a week. Or something. I shouldn't have to read how to take care of it. I'm never getting a fish.

Once it does die, stick it in a microwave and see what happens.
