When the goldfish was sick and was under medical treatment I was so anxious, so stressful because I worried about the effectiveness of the fish medicine. I held my breathe all the time, watching them anxiously. I could do nothing but watching and waiting.
Taking care of goldfish is ten times harder than looking after a human baby because goldfish have no fish doctors or fish hospitals despite that they tend to get sick and die.
OMG, I made a wrong decision when I chose what animal to be my pets.
More than 20 days have passed since I started treating my sick fish with fish medicines. During the past 20 or so days I suffered from anxiety and sorrow almost every day. I don’t think I can stand it any more.
Thanks for the suggestion @far_cry0 . But I don’t want to keep any pets now as I’m going to focus on my writing and reading. I have already had a good plan for writing. Also my cognition is better.
You tried your best! You seemed to take good care of them! Unfortunately fish don’t live very long. You did everything you could though. Try to take comfort in that. (Hugs)
Give them away. Fish aren’t sentimental about who owns them they haven’t developed enough on the evolutionary scale to feel love anyone who owns them or care who owns them. You’re not going to hurt their feeling if you give them away.
