The joy of saving a life! 😇

I have had all kinds of aquariums at home, whether saltwater aquarium or freshwater aquarium. I’m told that it’s good to have aquariums at home. Few people even buy a particular fish according to Vastu, but I just like having all sorts of fish at home. Looking at them gives me a pleasant feeling. In fact, it has been proven that watching fish swim around in a tank is good for mental health as it helps reduce stress and anxiety, and helps you relax. You all must be wondering how I feed them when I travel so much. I make sure the fish tank is automated, of course. The food drops on time, purifies the water when dirty, and switches the light on and off according to the time.

Sometimes when I came home from traveling, I’d find a few fish dead. I used to feel so sad. I used to remember how happy I was while buying the fish of my choice. Sure the tank was automated, but everything needs supervising.

Recently When I was home, I saw my fish fighting amongst each other and chasing one another. It was so cute to look at. But, Later I noticed all of them teaming up against one fish. The poor fish almost lost its fin. I felt terrible! They continued to attack him, and while he kept trying to swim away, he was unable. I was sure he was going to die if I didn’t do anything. So I immediately shifted him to another container. But, later I realized he might need oxygen and light, so I shifted him back to the previous tank but separated him from the other fish with the help of a net. I kept it like that for a few days until he recovered.

He is finally healed. His skin is still a little peeled off, but now he can swim like before. Sometimes, I even see him attacking other fish. It is a small life, yes. But, it is still a living thing. It still makes a difference when you save a life. It still brings joy to me.😄
