do you guys ever have nightmares about getting a fish tank only for the fish to die within the day you get it due to some really horrible and also easy to avoid errors?
#fishkeeping brain rot#literally i want a betta so badly#but im so scared i won't take care of it properly and it will die almost instantly#even if i follow everything correctly including tank set up and cycling and filtration and heating#probably bc childhood me had fish and couldn't take care of them properly#+ lack of parental supervision ++ living in a country with rlly bad animal welfare#like once as a kid i won a goldfish at a carnival thing#and took it home#and my siblings used to have fish and would always do water changes with bottled water (which wasn't chlorinated) and they wouldn't die#then my dad got pissed and said tap water was perfectly fine for animals (our tap water wasn't considered safe for human consumption btw)#and i believed him and used that#cuz i literally got the fish in a bag and used an old tank we had at home#filled it with tap water and acclimated the fish#and yeah it was dead the next morning#also he made me start giving tap water instead of bottled water to my pet hamster and then it later died of cancer#and im so convinced the tap water might have had carcinogens in it#bc it definitely had heavy metals and coal-associated waste in it#anyways goofy tags rant is done#fishkeeping#fishblr
