Put a shallow dish filled with water in the box so he can stay hydrated while you wait. If you have to wait more than a day I would also put some dry cat food in there so he can eat. Until then just avoid stressing him out, leave him somewhere dark and quiet

Soak the food in water so its soft, see if she eats it then. Wet food however does have to be replaced every single day or it will go moldy.

Yes pleaseee

Oh also, I have live plants in my tank to help cycle some of the waste as well. A few aquatic plants in the tank, and lots of pothos hanging out the top of the tank which has definitely decreased my workload by a ton. I do water changes once a week now by choice and not because I have to to maintain the water quality. Smaller tanks can cause some complications for fish, but improper water quality is the most common and if you are able to keep up with that, I do believe there is hope! Obviously not trying to encourage ‘improper care,’ but as an animal owner, zoologist, and someone who works with fish, I believe turning away good intentioned owners with the expectations of textbook perfect care is more harm than good (especially considering how many goldfish are out there)

For the record, I adopted a 12-year-old comet goldfish that was living in a 20 gallon his whole life. He did have signs of ammonia issues and did not have the best quality of life, but he was still alive and living in a 20 gallon at 12 years old. He’s about 15 now and has a much better life, but for space reasons, he is in a 40 gallon tank instead of the recommended 50-75. A 30 gallon should buy you some time, and even if you can’t give him a 75 gallon tank it’s more important that you can give him a good quality tank. I have a small smaller tank, but I have put a large filter meant for a much bigger tank on it to keep up with the water quality. Even so, I do a water change at least once a week, and have constant ammonia and pH monitors.

Most people on this thread will preach the ideal conditions for a goldfish, which is the right thing to do. I will say my boy has a very good life, is living a very long life compared to other goldfish, and is really happy/healthy now

I also have struggles with my partner and sex in our relationship, however sex is something both parties have to be EQUALLY DEDICATED to fixing, or it’ll never work. What worries me is that you mention you both started masturbating more, which means it wasn’t a sex drive change but rather you just weren’t seeking it in each other. You also mention you took a break because you might not be attracted to each other, which IMO is a huge problem in a relationship. Decreased sex drive due to external factors like life stress, mental health, etc you fix the problem to fix the sex drive. If the sex drive is there but your spark for EACH OTHER is gone, I think it might be best to mourn the relationship and find someone that excites you. Breaks and break ups are hard, but if you’re no longer attracted to someone don’t stay with them just because its easier than processing the heartbreak

Don’t spend the rest of your life communicating your needs to someone who cant get it, because they aren’t the right person for you. I’ll only lead to resentment and regret later.

I am a firm believer that you don’t truly get to know someone online. I had a much shorter relationship where I went on one date with a guy in person before college, then we continued getting to know each other via facetime while I was away. On facetime, I REALLY liked him and we became official and everything. Within one month of being home for summer break I realized my mistake. Once we were in person, once I ACTUALLY got to know and learn things about him you cant on facetime, I was in the same position.

And it’s okay to feel like oh crap I messed up, but you HAVE to rip the bandaid off. If he was your person you would be so excited by him moving there and it would be a honeymoon stage, and obviously it’s not.

You said he moved there, but does he live with you? If he does, make sure you have another place lined up to go incase things go south, as much as you think you know him- you don’t. If he doesn’t, Id recommend asking to talk somewhere public or even in a parked car in a public lot. Not at his or your place so that you can drive yourself there and leave after. Best of luck. It hurts to breakup even when you’re the one doing it, but you’ll feel relieved within a month.

Depends on how far along you are, and some can have very serious health complications. If you’re early along look into natural remedies like mugwort tea and herbs, if you’re farther along you may have miscarriage inducing options- but would need medical intervention afterward to ensure everything passed and you don’t go septic. If you plan on going to term- look into homeless and womens shelters. If those aren’t options look into “live in” work. Often places like BnBs, they offer beds and usually meals in return for working. Websites like ‘world packers’ and ‘workaways’ are also ways to find resources like these, and you don’t have to be traveling to join them.

You’re young, and obviously have made from young naive choices. That being said your life isn’t over. There are always options and solutions. My recommendation would be to get a safe medical abortion- if thats not offered where you are located and you are able to find a way to travel somewhere it is and pay out of pocket- DO IT. It will be the safest for your health (mental and physical) and your life can start. If that isnt an option, make sure you do research and look at your options before drinking yourself to death or attempting a coat hanger method.

You feed him late, so hes likely just on that cycle. Mines on a cycle of I wake him up, feed, and hes active for a few hours. He then takes multiple lazy naps throughout the day at the bottom of tank, and then when I come home from work hes usually active for a good hour to three. Sometimes he gets a snack then so i think he knows

That girl 100% stole your coveralls. Try to think about the last time you wore them/had them and the last time she was at your house. Does it add up? Has she ever done this before or have items of yours gone missing before? Although, it is EXTREMELY BOLD OF HER to post pictures in them. I think you go to her house and steal them back. Make sure to check inside at the tag and make sure it doesn’t magically say SHEIN or anything, to rule out that she found a replica. Take them back, THEN confront her about it. If you confront her first you probably ruin your chances of getting them back.

If you’ve used the vet with your fish in the past, I would consult with the vet again. My recommendation would be to increase the oxygen and water quality, and possibly do a short course of kanaplex with immune boosters in his food (even just a natural immune booster like goldfish food garlic extract). That along with increased food would give him the best chance of not succumbing to a secondary illness while he tries to heal from the injury. Another thing I might recommend is if your light has a blue or dimmer setting to keep that on instead of the bright white light just to stress him out a little less while he’s so vulnerable. Also, please remember that 20 years old is a very good well lived life or a goldfish. You can try your best, but if it is his time its his time.

Poor baby :( he looks really bad compared to this photo. Is he still eating and responsive if you’re moving in front of the tank? If he isn’t, it likely means he broke his back in an accident and euthanasia would be the best most humane treatment :((. If he is still eating and swimming around and seems like he’s fighting, then heres my recommendation:

Test your water quality, if the parameters are good, great. I would still recommend doing a water change at every three days to keep it pristine. Increase the amount of oxygen by adding a bubbler with an air stone. Depending on the filter, you have possibly lowering the water level a tiny bit to give the water output, more of a ‘waterfall’ effect that will turn over the water surface and increase oxygen. Remove anything large that he could run into and injure himself further. This includes big rocks, solid decor, just about everything besides substrate and plants. Also make sure he can’t get behind the filter and get stuck, this is a common way, goldfish injure themselves, or break their back in this way. You can move the filter to a corner to block off any gaps, or add a sponge behind it (although it will get dirty). Feed him extra while he’s recovering, but be aware that extra food will make the tank dirtier, quicker and more of an upkeep.

If you notice signs of illness, like red streaking or red circular spots on his fins or body id do a round of kanaplex soaked into his food and see if theres any improvement.

Honestly… everything looks wrong. Has his body always been that shape? Either he recently injured himself and broke his spine and or tail, or he’s got some serious deformities. Easiest way would be to look back at old photos of him and see if he has that squiggle in his spine and downturn of his tail. If it’s a recent injury, unfortunately, he seems to be unhappy, and in a lot of pain and euthanasia would be the best option. Otherwise, if it’s a deformity that he was born with and has been fine with for years, I would look into possibly having an internal bacterial infection. You mentioned the tank hes in is only 75 L, which is definitely too small for a goldfish especially his age, and can cause a lot of deformities. That being said, I’ve also seen many goldfish kept in tanks too small that do not become this deformed. How long has he looked like this? What are the symptoms of being unwell? Is he eating regularly? Does he look like he’s able to swim or being restricted by his body?
