I am left with only three fish now. Honestly speaking (read writing) I was sad when my first two fish died but, I think, then I become little used to it, I was not as that sad when I found this other gold fish dead today morning. :/ I simply picked it up and was about to flush when my husband asked me to put it in dustbin.
I have been talking to all my colleagues who have pets (fish) and taking lecture on how to take better care of fish. I have made some pointer and one of them is Gold Fish Are Not For Trainee Aquarium Owners.
So, now I am planning to buy some more fish one of those rough and tough ones. Let’s see how long they live to get my love. :)
Well bella....all i can think of is change ur pet preference and instead keep a dog..atleast it will be of some use to you....

Very sad to hear this. Hope Menaka Gandhi doesn't read your blog. May be fishes are not made for you--try keeping some other pet like rabbit or turquoise etc.

Dont be sad... you cannot change the destiny.. the fishes that died, were the one who were the weakest of the lot. This is purely the principle of 'Survival of the fittest.'
ReplyDeleteEvery consequence has something attached to it.. maybe you learned something / maybe not but the thing that is most important is that you tried. maybe the external factor were not favorable for them to live.. life is like this.. for all.

Oye bhawna dont worry...i also became very senti when my first round of fish died...and 17 of them at one go...an waste of 900 bucks. But after three rounds of death- collectively 42 fishes- finally my acquarium has finally setteled...touch wood.Will give you some tips to avoid further casualty....
ReplyDelete1. Initial three months dont keep more than three/four fishes, till the time you completely understand the nature of the fish/acquarium--how much food they want, when to change the water et al.
2. Gold fish is the most fragile one, so initially just keep shark fishes. Keep one pair of white and black shark each.
3. To keep your fish tank clean keep one tank cleaner fish, that will eat up the shit of other fish.
4. Go to a acquarium shop and get all the equipment in your fish tank, specially since winter is coming, things like water hitter is a must
5. While cleaning, follow these steps-
*Get the required amount of water in a bucket and put all the medicines, let the water settle for one hour or so...(please ensure the bucket is clean, i lost my first 17 fishes because the bucket was slightly smeling of washing powder)
* Then drain the tank water in a clean bucket, transfer the fish to the bucket...
* Flush the tank....the easiest way-put fresh water and drain it out with a pipe...dont worry about the sediment...will settle in a few minutes...
* Finally put the medicated water in the tank and and transfer the fish
If your fish still dies, make fish curry of it and treat palin...just kidding...they are very pretty and fragile..so better take care of them.
WISH U LUCK
@ Mitabh: hahaha i liked the last point of making curry and im sure u expect me to invite u over as well.
ReplyDeletehahahaha. but nice tips dude i shall certainly keep in mind and BTW ur 42 fish died. Man! ur an inspiration for me :P.
Aisa hai madam.. gaon ke logon ka bhains palna he achcha hai. Where did u get this bright idea of keeping fish?? I'm an animal lover myself, but then I abstain from keeping a pet. Given the fact that my house is generally locked most of the time, they would starve to death. Let me just say one thing, KEEP A GOAT.. U can have it's milk, and, at least, when that follows the same path as ur fish, we can have some tasty chops.. ;)
ReplyDeleteGrrrr... u nasty guy. U will never abstain from writing something bad ever will u?? :)
