beloved betta killed by satin spawn

[Cheese Specialist]

can ya plz. just delete this whole post

Yeah, I bet you'd like that.

I think it should be left up, and to encourage that I think that people should follow wuv's advice - no personal attacks.

You know I think what you did was disgusting, I do not think you should be able to look after animals and also for a 'very smart' honours student, you need to learn the meaning of euthanasia...

Euthanasia: noun killing person painlessly, esp. one who has incureable painful disease. - Oxford English Dictionary

It mentions nothing about fun nor convenience, not even for the sake of others as you would have us believe. steppy104, that also goes for financial gain.

Oh, and here's the post wrs deleted:

ive been having fish issues so ive been having 2 move fish around a bit. 2 make a long story short i put my betta in my community tank so a cichlid could have his home. so i went 2 check on him yesturday and he was dead! eaten, no fins, and even the flaring stuff was eaten 2! he was murdered by a molly. a molly from hell. i saw him attacking my plattie so i know it was him. i got teary eyed over barry death, it was very sad. and what makes it worse is the dam molly wont die. no matter what i did 2 him he lived. i put him in feezing water. i stabbed it w/the net. i took him out of water, took away the air stone. and now hes in a vase! living while barrys dead in the ground!!! 

i hate u daphney!

so you think i killed mine for finnancial gain? i didn't want the fish and i wasn't going to keep it. my fish stores don't accept live returned fish...only DEAD. i don't know anyone who gives 2 ####s about fish. sure, that one person had a good idea, of giving it to the worker and walking away, but i obviously didn't think of that...

i killed because i didn't want the thing. OK?! the 4 bux was a plus

 

[wuvmybetta]

Keep it clean folks...as you were.

 

[steppy104]

wow,
i didn't know you did that steppy
thats sad
i thought you were more sensible then that

wrs
the reason i'm not freaking out over her situation, is because although it is digusting and wrong
i don't read of any torture
i still think you both made very poor decitions

 

[steppy104]

sensible? so, is that basically saying i'm stupid for killing a fish i had nothing else to do with?

 

[amazingbioloboydp]

EDIT:bad comments were made-bad comments were deleted

 

[james..]

im sick of ppl. critizing me about trying to euthanising my molly so im deleting this post.

There's a line between "euthenasia" and "torture".

 

[jacblades]

i don't know anyone who gives 2 ####s about fish

i guess that includes yourself. you can hold one species higher than another. that just doesnt make sense.

personally, i feel that if you took the responsible to go and buy a fish then you should be ready to take care of it, regardless of its personality. Whether it was an aggressive molly, or any other type of fish. if you buy it, then be prepared to accept it for whatever it is.

I know sometimes it is very frustrating to have all your fish taken down by one bully, but that "bully" fish has the right to live too, as with all the other fish. And the molly probably wouldnt' have died from the gourami if she wasn't weakened from being tossed around in cold water. Unfournately, i think wrs indirectly caused her death, whether or not wrs wanted it to happen.

I'm not going to use the word torture, becuase maybe you guys REALLY didnt' know about the proper way to euthanisze a fish. I use to think cold water was the best and most painless way too, but cutting the head off the fish is acutally a faster death, and less painful. Woudl you rather be frozen to death slowly or just have your head cut off in one swift blow?

Either way, i just hope you guys learned a lesson from this. Maybe next time you end up with another "bully" fish, you'll be able to see pass the emotional frustration and realize that you are responsible for taking care of it, even if it IS a bully.

whoa there
i gave you way to much credit as it is
not being sensible is NOT calling you stupid
i tried to butter up my comment on what you said,
but its clear that your all wound up and looking for a fight
please don't include me if thats the case
i have no quarel with you

 

[steppy104]

ok....no quarel....i just thought when you said i'm not sensible, that you were trying to say in a nicer way, that i'm stupid.

ya, i am wound up. sorry. like i said somewhere sometime ago, this was a while ago. when i didn't know as much about fish. i bought the thing expecting it to get along with my betta, since that is what the guy said. when they picked on my betta, then died off, i was left with one. by that time i had learned that those were mean fish, and definetly not a species that i wanted to keep. so, what do you do with a fish like that?

i guess that includes yourself. you can hold one species higher than another. that just doesnt make sense.

yes, i did hold one species higher than another. i love betta's, and if it isn't a betta, or one of the fish that i have grown attached to, then i have less emotional feelings about it. i'm sorry that i can't force emotion upon myself the second i see some fish. it's gotta just come naturally, and which for me, that takes time. and at the time i killed the fish, i had no feelings for it. i felt bad that i killed it (afterwards) and still do, but i just didn't care about the fish. if someone wanted to take it off of my hands, i would've gladly gave it to them.
