The End of Fish Killing

I have killed four fishes!

Yes! I did! I am such a mean, cruel, inhumane and stone-hearted creature! All the fishes I bought had been killed! How? By suffocating them in a filthy water without sufficient oxygen!

Well, it was my first time feeding fishes on my own. Despite having large aquarium in my house last time, my father was the one who take care of all the water-cleaning, feeding and so on. I was just being the naughty one scaring the fish away by knocking on the glassed aquarium.

And now, all the fishes which I intentionally wanted to keep them alive had all died. Due to the lack of knowledge on taking care of the fishes in the fish tank. Beside feeding them daily and add some anti-chlorine each time I change the water, the fishes needs sufficient oxygen to breath. I was naive enough to think that putting lotsa grasses in the water would provide sufficient oxygen to the fishes. Unfortunately, not only the oxygen was not enough, the fishes have difficulty to swim through the water full of grasses. To make thing worse, I can't see the fishes at all because the grass has covered everything.

Not going to give up, I bought another two fishes last night (bigger in size) and brought them to the office today. Before lunch time, another fish died! Disappointed and feeling all guilty and sinful, the expert in the office (actually an office boy I would say) offered to help me buy an oxygen pump and a new fish tank for me. So, right after lunch time, I got the whole set of necessary equipment to keep my fishes alive.

Those equipment includes a new fish tank, food and air-pump. The office boy even bought me another 4 cute little fishes (knowing that all my fishes are gonna die soon). And guess what, all those things only cost me RM 20!!! That's freaking cheap!

So here are my new fishy home :




I am so glad to see that now my fishy fish fish all look very healthy and energetic. They even chase each other in that spacious new tank. Look! Now I only have a small amount of grass and a few colour stone to light up the environment.

Hmm... now I can enjoy my fishes swimming freely. One thing for sure, having that new tank on the table is just a lovely distraction!
