So.... I've been in the hospital with my cousin for almost 3 weeks straight. ... He is quite literally on his deathbed, hours away now (he's unconscious).

... Today a visitor came... No one knew who this guy was, and he brought a f*cking goldfish in an IV bag. To "be funny" because he thought it would "lighten the mood". Needless to say the fish did not survive the day (which is why it's not pictured).

The second picture is what else he left with it. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Also, the container in the second pic had some sort of green goop in the bottom of it...

He also informed me that he has piranhas... I asked him what kind. "I don't know... The regular kind" was his reply. Oh yes... And he lives in a RV (not stationary). 🤔

I’m just speechless

I took it upon myself to help my nephews city fair goldfish and due to them not having the space and not caring about my warnings the fish got very big for a 3 gal tank, I know it’s not big enough still for a goldfish but I upgraded him to a 10 gal, it’s better and he seems happier that he can stretch out a little. This is the before and after and I showed my sister my previous post and told her 300 people agree ur neglecting ur fish so she let me fix it

Found this in a friend group discord server

Its definitely something

This is actually so sad.

I saw this and physically cringed holy shit

I'm normally against the whole pineapple of death thing, as long as the paint is safe and it's not for a fish who will get cut up or hurt. This, however, is what I will think of every time I see that phrase from here on out

Pen for scale. I saw this at a small restaruant. How many animal cruelty charges you counted?

It was a very small place and didn't had a big empty tank getting cleaned

Edit: I talked with the owner. It sermd they didn't knew better. he confirmed the big one is kissing gourami and said tank takes 10 liters. It had 2 tetras and 3 small fishes and said the small fishes even reproduced there somehow

After hearing the water requirements of gourami pleco and the sharks he decided selling the whole thing off. He offered to me too but I refused since the best I have is 80 liters storage box.

there was a video on the listing and a bunch more photos of the fish, so this is unfortunately not ai. The tank was being sold without the fish though so ........ yeah. I hope they were separated out into less over stocked tanks

Was shopping for some essentials and came across this torture chamber

This is bacivally a 10x10cm "aquarium" I found on temu reviews. I hope the betta is still alive and have a better owner.

this is my worst nightmare. 125 gallons for 300+ bettas IS extremely abusive. as long as it fits inside your house it can NOT hold 300 bettas. i dont care if youre a ‘retailer’ that gives you no right to abuse fish like this in such massive quantities and then encourage others to in the comments.

I know nothing about fish tanks but I saw this while waiting for my dentist appointment and I’m not sure if it’s some kind of violation?? I went around to the back of the tank and I’m pretty sure the filter is still running because there was some noise. Maybe I’m overreacting but it just looks so sad.
