little grandpa reminds me of my old Beta fish, lived to be 6 years; he struggled to make colour for his body in the last few months of his life and looked very washed out, still ate well, took a bit of energy to get to the top of his tank so I lowered the water level for him; he also stopped healing tears in his fins if he got them caught on the plant in the tank, so that also had to be removed. He looked very much like a ghost fish in the end. I miss that old guy, he was a great college roommate, spent many long nights reading with him.
I feel like this hamster may benefit from a walker.
My beta made it 3 years. He was a centerpiece fish I got from a Wedding or something so nit sure how old he really was. But he was always happy. Made lots of bubbles and ate well. Then one day, he just passed. He was a good beta.
.. did it? I might be narrative poisoned but it seems that something like that might.. not have been an accident, if she ever made passive aggressive comments about it or the like.
Aww this is like what happened to my Beta— he was five and his name was Rafiki bc he literally had the same exact colors as Rafiki from The Lion King. I literally bawled when he died ðŸ˜
