EMERGENCY! Dying fish. Bullied guppy. Need help

[Bruce Leyland-Jones]

Thankyou, and are you putting laghing emojis on my messages about that annoying person because you think i am being ridiculous or is it a different reason?

To be honest, my laughing emojis are because I'm laughing at your seemingly childish reactions.
This is wrong of me and I apologise,
I picture the 'I'm ignoring you' and 'Now I'm not ignoring you' and then the 'Now I'm definitely ignoring you' in real life and struggle not to giggle.
PM sent.

How often should I feed my injured guppy.

How often should I feed my injured guppy.

A little, once a day...assuming he's actually eating.
Don't forget, a 'fasting' day is always healthy.
Currently, I fast my two tanks once a week.
A pellet is probably better than flake, because you'll be able to see it if it's left and ignored.

Again...how old are you?

 

[fishyfun&fans]

How long a piece of string

sorry couldn’t help it guess I’m looking to be ignored

 

[Bruce Leyland-Jones]

Again...how old are you?

Not needed...I'm sure some of us may have clocked up 'x' number of years, but our inner child sometimes gets loose. Then there are those who pretend to be children...and that's really weird.

Can you please stop asking that question? Its kinds creepy.

 

[CaptainBarnicles]

Oh OK...you could always ignore me too if you'd prefer?

im not stupid, i know your just trying to make me ignore you. It is kind of funny tho

Being ignored is fine. Not my loss in the grand scheme of things called life.

However I will always place the care of the fish first in cases where the "owner" is unwilling or to follow good and competent advice regarding their care, since the animals are always the ones who suffer the most by ignorance and impatience..

Not at all, if you ignored me I wouldn't be able to help you! But if you find me creepy then perhaps you should as I'd hate to make you feel that way?

I ask your age so that I know how to talk to you and I may have more of an idea about what you're able to understand? Not all of us are out to get you my dear

This. I'm all for not giving your age out online but in some circumstances people knowing you may be younger or have mental health considerations may help people to communicate in a more useful way.

My oldest son has ASD and I can quite well imagine him having similar conversations and responding in the same way when he was younger.

I have worked with children from primary age up until adulthood. Sometimes people just need a different approach but if you don't know that it can feel like your bashing your head against a wall.

There is nothing wrong with being young or having mental health considerations, nobody here is going to bash you for it. At the same time you shouldn't feel that you have to declare these kind of things either.

Just in this case a lot of people have been trying to help you and the response they have received has made it harder and harder for them to want to do that. Hence people questioning your age. Honestly they are much more likely to hang in there and try and help if you are younger and inexperienced other just being an adult who doesn't want to listen.

The user does come off as a minor or very young. It is understandable that they are uncomfortable giving their age. Perhaps use a range like... I am under 16 or I'm in my early 20s. That way we can get an idea without knowing the exact age. Like CaptainBarnicles said, some people are here to help... and just want the information to better facilitate communication with you.

Hey we got a plant in there. @Rocky998 won't add any because members on this forum site says you don't need plants.

Sometimes you dont need plants... Its also up to the person making their tank... As long as you have a cycled aquarium it should be ok if you dont OVERstock. Plants are great additions and should always be considered but if a beginner feels like he shouldn't or he/she isnt able to, then they don't habe to have plants.

 

[Rocky998]

ok, now your PERMANENTLY ignored forever and i want nothing to do with you, im sick of you making me feel helpless and complaining. Im glad i found the ignore setting. You are being mean and you obesely think your 'the best fish keeper ever' when your probably not.

Uhhh... Ive known @wasmewasntit on here for a while (I'm relatively new but he's helped me out before) he is super friendly and everyone here is trying to help you, but by you disregarding information that the PROS are giving you, you're commiting aquarium suicide.
