Saved this dude from someone who left him in a tank with no food for a couple months trying to get rid of him, lived off the algae then was going to throw him out on the grass. But save to say I think he’s happy in his new home! Sorry gotta scrub the tank tomorrow

I (M19) had to put my fish down today. And I don’t think I’ve ever cried harder in my life

Apologies in advance for the length of my sob story, it's been a rough day.

I honestly just didn't know where to come to talk about it, as I know none of my friends will understand why I'm so upset. That and I'm tired of hearing "it's just a fish".

Like most aquarists on reddit, I take great pride in my own hobby. I've learned so much and I'm eternally grateful for deciding to buy my first fish tank four years ago. It was shortly after that I received a black balloon belly molly. Now, this fish isn't anything special. You can find them for 2-3$ at most pet stores actually, and as a 15 year old kid I was infatuated.

So one day I was sitting at home, admiring my fish tank and my mom just... showed up with this weird looking fish. I had no idea what it was or how to take care of it, she just thought it looked cool when buying cat food that night.

And from that moment on, I made it my goal to give this fish the best life possible. But, like with any other teenager, life happens, and I got more fishtanks. This cute little fish went through THREE new tanks with me, two broken filters (with one happening while I was away, she was the only survivor of the tank the second time around), and a move to college and back. She was the only fish I had at the time when my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, but she was also around (this time with tank mates) when I heard the beautiful sound of the word "remission". I've had this fish through three breakups, and honestly, without her I wouldn't have grown to be the best hobbiest that I can be.

But sadly, everyone's time must come to an end. Today was that end for her. I know that it's just a fish, but this is the pet that's been there through everything with, and I'm just a little heartbroken at the fact that she won't be swimming up to get food when I feed the tank tomorrow. This also happened to be the first fish that I have had to euthanize myself, as all others have died of natural causes. I don't know if it was the fact that I knew that yes, she could still be swimming but in insurmountable pain, or the fact that I had to overcome my own beliefs and do it myself, but I'm heartbroken. I've been bawling ever since. I don't know why I'm making this post honestly, I think I just needed somewhere to vent.

So, if you've made it this far, thank you for listening to Ebony and my story. At the end of the day, she was just a fish, but I'm eternally grateful for all the help she has given me through life, I know I wouldn't be half the person I am today without my hobby.
