My goldfish is depressed

Katzenklavier · September 2010

I had 2 goldfish and they appeared to be best buds, but one died a week ago. Now the other one just sits at the bottom of the tank all day and doesn't move much. Makes me feel bad. I'm going to buy him a new buddy tomorrow.

Poor thing must feel awful.

DirtySanchez · September 2010

I heard that to but I thought it was 5 seconds and that's why they dont give a shit that there in a tiny bowl.

The funny thing is, they actually DID show this on Mythbusters. Goldfish do remember for a long time.

Buy him a new buddy.

no, free him into the ocean, or a near by fountain. How do you think that fish feels about being imprisoned 24/7 inside that bowl like a convict sentenced to life without parole? you are a sick man. dont you think its wrong for you to imprison fish in a glass jail cell for what is an eternity for a fish? no wonder they were depressed. may god have mercy on your soul

Goldfish were bred for use as pets. They won't survive in the ocean cause they're either freshwater, or they get eaten by other fish. In a fountain, what's the difference? It's still a man made container, and now nobody's going to feed them.

Problem with pets is, if you have a single one you will feel sorry for him and get him a partner and after that they will have kids and fuck you over or if the mate dies you're still fucked. Same goes for gold fish. Just get another pair if possible. Even if your old fish kills himself the new pair will keep you company or they can have a threesome. Just make you're not getting two dudes

Back when i was 10 or 11 my one really old dog died of some kind of tumor and my other dog didn't even react to its death, in fact it got even more energetic. I guess i have an evil selfish dog

or a dog that fears not for those of us who have returned to the force. your dog is yoda.

I keep fish, and they're definitely happier with another fish which they get on with well. Buy another fish for him, for sure bro.

Also, get more than one if you can. They'll all kinda live together as a community, its cool.

Get a mate ASAP because he will most certainy die if left too long.

I'm not sure that goldfish die when on their own bro

Professor Elm · September 2010

they do, they do not eat because when they are stressed their throat closes up.

Buy it a turtle to speed up the death process.

It's gonna die anyways.

DirtySanchez · September 2010

Every time Ive had goldfish they never lasted long. They usually came from the fair thouogh.

Katzenklavier · September 2010

The last goldfish I got from the fair was badass. It lived 4 years and I fed it carpenter ants.

Unknown · September 2010

I'm actually having some fish issues. I think the pump has seen better days, and the water seems to be clouding over. The fish are all hanging at the top of the water, which leads me to believe the water has too many nitrates? In it.

Katzenklavier · September 2010

Yeah from what I hear fish don't like to swim in ammonia.

^Proven once again lol.

OP, why did the first one die?
Goldfish can naturally get older than 30 years and some have been known to get 70. Since I doubt that yours died from old age, there most be something in the water that killed it. Whatever it is, it could be weakning the survivour to a state where you think it is "sad".
