Photo Hunt - Gross

Dirty Fishy water is Gross...amazingly enough the fishy has survived for almost five years. Probably because I don't wait for the girls to clean his bowl anymore...

I agree, dirty fish water is gross... but i think any dirty water is... like in a sink, etc. Ick.

Hope lots of folks stop in to see your fish and say hello! =) Why? I made you site of the day this week! =)

Ew! We had fish years ago, and I remember how smelly the bowl could get.

Unknown said...

Poor fishy fishy ... but seems he's healthy enough ... just the right amount of bacteria in the water maybe?

Oh, we just exited the goldfish phase, thank God! Matthew had a big ol' fish and it just wouldn't die no matter how hard BigBob tried to kill it. He pinched off his oxygen tube a few times (accidentally), dropped him on the kitchen floor one . . .that fish was about 9 years old when he finally started laying on the bottom of the tank and when Matthew went back to school after Xmas break, BigBob performed fish euthanasia followed by a burial at sea (translation: flush). I gave the tank to one of the secretaries at work. So glad to be rid of it!

Mine is posted!

Thanks tnchick - I'm very flattered.

Pamela said...

Wow! Five years is incredibly long for a little gold fish! Poor little guy, thank goodness you look out for him! lol

Andree said...

I totally agree: it is gross. Which is one reason I don't like having fish (so I don't' have fish LOL)! Yet I'll clean litter boxes. Go figure.

Unknown said...

I thought about the litter box...but then thought that would be more over the top gross than Mr. Fishy.

:-)

Lux said...

Yeah, that looks pretty gross - except the fishy looks enticing!

Unknown said...

My cats agree with you Lux, Mr. Fishy has lived thru some close calls.

Yes, dirty fish bowls are gross. I have had my share of those with my children as well.

Congrats on SOD!

Yep, dirty fish water is definitely gross!

Mine is up too.

PastormacsAnn said...

I guess it's bad when you can barely see the fish swimming around. Yuck.

Good choice for The Hunt.

Gattina said...

Poor little fish, it's not his fault that he has to swim in that dirty water ! Have fun to clean it out ! lol !

Dirty fish water is really gross. Every time you clean it the darn fishy messes is up even faster!

Great photo for today's theme

Take care,
Connie
My photo is up.

Congrats on being Hunter´s site of the day! I agree, dirty fish water is gross... that´s why I don´t have an aquarium =)

srp said...

Congratulations on being the site of the day.
Not only does the fish tank water get cloudy and smelly at times, but that awful debris that is so hard to rinse off the rocks in the bottom and those floating fish that don't make it. I had a small tank in my office for a while and it was so hard to clean. The goldfish lived for five years? That is a much better record with them than I ever had.

Helene said...

gosh that is one unhappy looking fish! hope he lives! loling

cheers!Kate

Your fish is luckier than my sons! His finally gave it up and float for a few days before the boy noticed!

Come visit and gross out on my fly! Have a super Saturday!

We can NOT keep fish. My husband kills them each time.

"Honey. You CAN'T clean their rocks with bleach."

"But they're dirty."

*sigh* Men. lol

Congrats on being site of the day!

Just Jan said...

dirty fish bowls are realy gross...

Mine's up too.

Unknown said...

cleaning fish tanks is one of the reasons why i hate fish as pets... it's good for you that your fish lasted that long. another reason why i dont like fish as pets is because they die quickly, a few months after you bought them.

Poor fishy!

I had goldfish as a kid and honestly.. my fish bowl often looked this way. Poor little fishes.

Michelle said...

Eww gross fish water! My brother once had a gold fish that lived for years and he rarely cleaned the tank! Poor thing actually died shortly after a cleaning! I think is was so used to the dirty water the clean water killed it! I've got my first SPH up. Check it out!

Cleaning fish water is a gross job. Welcome to the Photo Hunt!

I used to keep jumbo goldfish, and could they make a jumbo mess. Congrats on being site of the day.

Jane said...

Glad you are in charge of the bowl now!

roman said...

I try not to remember what it takes to clean the bowl. It's too bad that we were unable to snap a shot of the stones that we have in it now, especially when we cleaned it out last month - now that was gross.

Goldfish are extremely difficult to keep their water clean -- guppies are smaller but are unfortunately become cannibals when they have babies --which is almost as gross.
