I had fun reading an article from Mail Tribune today talking about how his goldfish is so very much resilient after many of his blunders while taking care of it. Now, I’m not stressing that you should try to do all of these activities to the fishes in your home aquariums too, just to test if they will still live afterwards. Just trying to show you people a very cool story about love for fishes and how this love can also conquer all odds (yep, it’s cheesy, I know, I’ll go work on that part).
Anyway, the story is about a goldfish named Amen and his owner named Sanne Specht (who is also the author of the article you can see on the link below). Sanne started off narrating how he kept Amen and other fishes on his bathtub at home. And I know it may sound oh so cruel, it’s actually the best he can do since he doesn’t even have any home aquariums to keep the goldfish.
After a brief incident of accidentally nearly flushing Amen down the drain and accidentally stabbing the fish with a pair of scissors, it just struck me how Sanne did all he can to revive the goldfish that he loved so much. Home aquariums are used to keep fishes for a reason, but when after he actually had one, Amen still encountered a disaster against the air filter tube. Oh well, the fish still survived after that, so no worries there.
Quoting from what he said in the article:
I became more pop-eyed than Amen when my favorite fish popped out of the drain, attached to the tip of my scissors.
“No!!!!!!!! Noo!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!” I screamed.
“Please … Please … Please … Don’t die!” I cried, wondering whether it was possible to give a fish a transfusion.
Death seemed imminent. Euthanasia seemed humane. I called my local fish store and sobbed out the whole tragic tale.
It is one funny story, but it’s really very touching too. Again, I don’t suggest doing these things to the fishes of your own home aquariums, but it pays to read articles about loving your pets too. You can read the whole story on the link below.
