I killed a fish and i cannot get over it:(
My daughter had these 2 fish she won from a festival last year, but now she only has one. What happened was I was changing the filter and somehow one of the fishes got inside the cartridge and I squished it while putting the other filter in. I felt like something wasn't right and when I was done I was looking for the other fish but it wasn't there. My heart sunk and I looked in the cartridge to find the poor little guy lifeless.
I can't seem to get past it. Now the other fish just sits in the same spot of the tank all day, looking out and it hides from me when I get close to the tank. It makes me want to cry every time I look at him. What can I do?
Is it normal to mourn so hard for the loss of a little gold fish?
