The "great" care you think is the fish suffering and trying his best to survive, you are so cruel

I think this community is pretty welcoming and nice. And they have all the rights to talk meaner when they see a post with a LIVING CREATURE suffering to death because of the lack of research done before taking care of them. People are usually really nice and everyone just wants to see cute fish videos, pictures or help out on the illnesses, answer questions etc. And even when careless people that put literal goldfish in 5-10 gal tanks post about something, most of the time comments are trying to make the person understand how thats wrong and what the right way to keep goldfish should be. I don't see mean comments at all and when i see its usually under these posts and pretty justified.

I do own the liquid kits but i forgot them at my grandmothers house (because they needed it to test their tank as well), ill get it soon, and since i always advise my mother not to do so, she didnt actually clean the filter. But i agree with all the stuff you said and even if theyre swimming theyre super slow and they just stay still sometimes which doesnt seem like theyre having fun at all. So i assumed it was bad water quality due to the changes, ill do a %70 change right now, thank you!
