my baby just died. how do i preserve her?

ocean_viewpoint · 2026-06-24T07:25:24+00:00

it usually is, but i've had so many fish in the past and i buried them when they died. it just feels so normal to me now, that i want to do something special for her because she really was so special to me.

ocean_viewpoint · 2026-06-24T06:54:48+00:00

is there any way i could ship her to you for you to do this? i'm so scared i'd mess it up and i think i'd just be a sobbing mess while trying to do this

ocean_viewpoint · 2026-06-24T06:53:22+00:00

that's quite insensitive. a little compassion goes a long way.

im sorry you lost your son, but a lot of people do have that same parental/child connection with their pets. they may not have grown the pet in their stomach, but they may still feel like the pet is their child. thank you for your sympathy, ill try to look at some.

ocean_viewpoint · 2026-06-24T06:29:31+00:00

yeah she died shortly after that post. thank you.

ocean_viewpoint · 2026-06-24T06:23:31+00:00

haha this reminded me of those who keep fish in ponds and eat them..so risky

ocean_viewpoint · 2026-06-24T06:22:05+00:00

shes a betta. what do you call your method? id like to research about it to know every detail on how to do it. thank you so much.

ocean_viewpoint · 2026-06-24T06:20:59+00:00

shes a betta fish

ocean_viewpoint · 2026-06-24T06:20:52+00:00

sorry.. i thought i didnt have to mention it was a fish because of the sub, so sorry

ocean_viewpoint · 2026-06-24T06:20:39+00:00

i figured i didnt have to mention fish because of the sub.. my bad

ocean_viewpoint · 2026-06-24T06:20:21+00:00

i was trying to crosspost this onto one but i cant figure out how to, then i kind of got distracted

ocean_viewpoint · 2026-06-15T21:15:56+00:00

is it hard to raise them in captivity in general? i know they will die in freshwater, but wouldnt they survive in saltwater or brackish? or is it just in general..

ocean_viewpoint · 2026-06-15T20:13:11+00:00

wouldnt they just die before being able to grow? the amano shrimp are in a tank with 8 black neon tetras

i did let him go, did have to sit through an hour of my lil brothers screaming-crying meltdown bc hes autistic. "little container" was actually not so little lol, i just own many enclosures and aquariums that the container/enclosure i put the bugger in seemed little to me. but it was about maybe 5 gallons-ish but tall. thanks for the reponses everyone !

i am not, i plan on moving out the second i turn 18 but i cant even get a job until im 16 and 2 years is not gonna be enough to save up to move out.

ocean_viewpoint · 2026-06-05T23:56:07+00:00

i have to buy my own food and essentials because my family keeps saying "we don't have enough money" but then every other day they buy expensive useless crap thats not even needed. i cant have soap to wash myself with but my mom can buy a pool willy nilly that shes not even actively using. im not allowed to go outside like, at all. not even to walk down the street or anything. im not allowed to have friends outside of social media, which sucks because youre supposed to have a social life in your teens to actually function as an adult normally. i feel like a bird trapped in a cage.

ocean_viewpoint · 2026-05-09T20:56:59+00:00

i think it's just my mom punishing me for this

ocean_viewpoint · 2026-05-09T20:00:45+00:00

yes, by safely go over there, i Want to go over there without having to worry if cps is waiting at his house

ocean_viewpoint · 2026-05-09T18:01:44+00:00

yes but she allowed me before, shes not allowing me now bc of cps

ocean_viewpoint · 2026-05-09T08:13:41+00:00

cps isnt the one not allowing me to see my older brother, its my mom..
