Red's last moments on this earth

Red was my 5 and a half year old African Cichlid "red devil". I bought him when he was less than an inch long. Upon his death early Saturday Morning at 2:30am EST on August 22, 2009 he was 12 and a half inches long and 6 and a half inches tall. Red was hand fed all his life and loved to be petted. I had him for a little over 5 years. This morning at 11:00am EST I commited his body into Lake Hickory behind our home. I'm gonna miss him!

[@kaunasprince]

The same people who say "it's only a fish", would also likely say, "it's only a dog".

[@snipercube815]

I know! I had a huge algae eater before and he lived for 7 years and my friends were laughing at me because I was really upset and they said "it's just a fish, buy a new one"

[@superraremartian]

Snipercube i hate people who say this to animals.They have a life...just like us.And if your an animal,would you like it when other people say"You are just a fish"What the freak is wrong with these kind of people,right?BTW I'm a animal lover.

+UndeadWolfofAshes It's crazy we as humans can make just about anything seem sad.

[@morsecode5078]

You seem to be an awesome owner, and your compassion in his final moments is very touching. So it's a little bit confusing to see him in such a small tank. I know money doesn't grow on trees, but the tank should have been upgraded well before he got to be this size.

[@yunge9482]

Could have a been an hospital tank?

[@morsecode5078]

I didn't even think about that. I think you're right. There's no substrate in there.

those people keep on commenting about how poor that fish because he lived in a small tank which actually a hospital tank has really no idea about having and taking care of a fish. so shut up.

[@felipejaquez8832]

HOSPITAL TANK

[@jasonshaffer3894]

Yea or some people call them sick tanks

[@txferretgirl]

LIWANAGDILLLIM yah when I used to keep fish I had a few small tanks for if one had to be separated for any reason, typically because they were sick and needed to be quarantined. He likely had a much larger tank to live in and was put in this one once he started to get ill.

[@littlesuperpony3438]

This is respect. This is love. This is what being a pet owner is all about. I'm so glad that you helped your fish get through the rest of his life. May you be blessed, truly touching. 😭🙏🏼

[@roseknight4360]

this is sad because he was family and I'm not in it but I still creid leave a like

[@jcspaz4l]

Lol. Its a hospital/quarantine tank. All you people attacking him for the tank, its CLEARLY a hospital. I handle my fish often, especially my breeders. I doubt he rubbed off all of the slime coat in such a short time. Also considering he was moving the fish around in the water trying to aid in pushing water over the gills shows he was actively trying to heal the fish. Also the way he was petting him shows he had a long relationship and had affection for him. Sorry for the loss, time to growout a new one

[@whomst-d1556]

Awe I'm so sorry for your loss. It was nice to comfort him in his last moments. But at least he's in a better place. If you don't mind me asking this, how did he die, how old was he, and how do you tell if a fish is dying? I'm so sorry for your loss this video was honestly so sad

I think he has gotten over it its been like 7 years since that vid

[@whomst-d1556]

+Invisble Plays I know but I can at least send my apologies

[@marirojas3888]

[@piggiesparklez4348]

I was MORE than emotional. :( SO SAD.

[@mirandacarroll3837]

What makes this even sadder, and I read the comments at the bottom, is that people who had pets soooooooooo long and they die, it's touching. I mean I have gold fish and they lived for 8 years, I am working on getting my 3-4 year old fish to even live that long! But long story short, those comments that say get another one, you have a kid for 18 years and they die........GET ANOTHER ONE! Nature is life but life will always be married to death and that is the saddest thing in the world. RIP to all life! P.s I know it may sound cheesy but it's the truth. I hate when a pet or human dies I knew for years.

[@saylorpalmer7068]

I had a feeder gold fish for 8 years as a pet and when he died I was devastated

[@mirandacarroll3837]

That excakly what I have! I had mine for 8 years. I have more that are like 4 years old now. They make great pets.

[@iamnotdead6550]

When given proper care. Goldfish can live up to 20 years. And grow up to nine inches. There was one recorded at 43 years old.

[@mirandacarroll3837]

Awesome. Mine are doing really well now bit are getting too big for their tank. I will get then a new one soon. I love them so much!!!

[@iamnotdead6550]

Miranda Carroll Goldfish normally grow up to nine inches. There should be ten gallons of water per fish. ^___^

[@roryhayes9185]

this video makes me so emotional every time...this video saved my soul from being so numb...never delete this

[@lordfall2266]

That's why I don't ever plan on having a pet because it's very painful when you lose them...

[@dylansorenson2784]

The amount of happy times and memories you'll have with any pet with be worth a million fold more than the pain you'll feel when you lose them.

[@getsajal]

+iHeavenlyKing Warframe I've got to agree with Dylan here Byakuya. The happy moments with them is worth risking their loss.

[@tronclay]

+iHeavenlyKing Warframe Ive had to put two dogs down so far, they were about 15 and id had them since age 12. When you feed, walk, play with and love a friend and companion like a dog theres no doubt about it, its hard as hell to let them go. But you take solace in the fact that you treated them well and gave them a good life, a life they might not have had with a bad owner, or worse, no life at all because they get euthanized when nobody wants them. The amount of companionship and good times you get from a good relationship with a dog outweighs the pain and time to heal that it takes when you have to let them go. In my eyes the important part of it is knowing when to accept that they are about to go and giving them the relief of a quick and painless passing with euthanasia. The main shot they get slows their breathing until they go to sleep and then pass and the other optional shot sedates them almost instantly and makes them totally unaware of whats going on, even the small pain and discomfort of the second shot. You ALWAYS choose to get the optional sedation shot, your trusted companion deserves no less then every possible comfort.

[@greenuhsty6747]

But it's very great to have one. :)

[@Mistfall254]

+Master Chief (AmericanShnazz) lol so true

[@scriblemaker]

To every amateur or experienced aquarist reading this: Please try not to dispose of non native plants and animals in the wild. Even a dead fish can carry diseases and parasites, introduction of which can be catastrophic. A dead plant can carry seeds that can sprout and take over a whole ecosystem.

[@bencrofoot5501]

You can tell he loved you very much. And you obviously loved him as well. Cichlids can be very very friendly fish, and make awesome pets, a video on my channel shows a yellow lab cichlid that loves to be petted just like this guy. Very beautiful, and I'm so sorry for your loss.

[@Dover939]

[@nicolelamorena4481]

so true

[@zebrapleco7895]

I'm so sorry for your loss. It must be hard to read all the comments by the people that don't understand he was in a quarantine tank and that you probably gave it your all to try to help him pull through. Most people don't understand how much personality large Cichlids have. I keep Discus and it is absolutely devastating when one of my little guys doesn't make it. I'm just as emotionally bonded to my Discus as I am to our two family dogs. It's nice that you were able to be there for Red when he passed.

dont worry, the fish can be reborn as his children, grandchildren or great grandchildren after death... :)

[@ZillaCha]

The dumbest thing I hear people say is "it's just a fish". IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT IT IS!!! It was someone's pet! I've had all kinds of pets and lost them all the same. Currently my dead pet list includes Dogs Fish Beaded dragons Rats Turtles Hedgehogs Snakes Tegus Although I may have been closer with my rat Ripred every death hurt about the same. The pain of losing any pet and remembering the times you spent with it is the worst after it is gone. I still cry every night for my lost babies and it will never leave me that's what people have to understand. It doesn't matter what it is it's someone's pet and friend.

[@therubyamulet4104]

+Zilla Cha I agree with you fully. My long list of lost pets are: My female bearded dragon My male bearded dragon My 5 zebra daniel fish 1 cat names Rex 1 cat named Ranbo 1 cat named Frosty 1 dog named Buddy 1 dog named Ollie Next animals on the list are my ten year old cat, tonks, my pekingese, boogie, my flatcoat retreiver, hazel, and my 3 year old cat, Oreo. 😢 I love them all to death.

I'm sorry for the loss of your pet fish, or better yet best friend, with only going 1 minute and 8 seconds in the video i could tell with each pat on the fish he/she truly enjoyed your gentle touch as you gave it loving. I've seen people pat their dogs and cats, birds and other animals but never have i seen a person pat a fish. As i've said i am truly sorry for what had been brought upon this best pal of yours, I hope it goes to a good warm but free swimming place, with lots an other fish.

[@aylahmacannadh9748]

God bless your heart. My dad had a little Capuchin monkey he was given when she was 5 days old back in the early '60's. Dad was injured in Korea and was in a wheelchair when a friend of his who worked at the zoo came to visit day with a 5 day old little monkey. The monkeys mother had given birth to twins but didn't want the second one so when the mother threw the 2nd one against a stone wall knocking her out cold. The zoo was going to put the little one down as no one wanted her. This was in the '60's before there were animal rights groups etc., and they didn't need any more of this common breed of monkey so the answer was put her down. My dad took one look at her and it was love for the next 29 years. When my dad passed away I took her under my wing as she was pining so badly for dad we thought she would pine to death. She stopped eating and would sit and clutch her little blanket all day. It broke my heart so I started to take her everywhere with me. I gained a wonderful companion for the next 13 years. She passed away at the age of 42 yrs and I was devastated. My husband did something then which he never does. He went out and got me a little 15 day old Grivet Monkey who is now my constant companion. She is a seizure monkey as well as I developed a seizure disorder and surprised us all when we learned she could detect my seizures VERY ACCURATELY about 5 - 10 min before they happen. I have a defibrillator and a pacemaker installed in my chest and a monkey alarm. I know how hard it is to lose an animal you've been with for a long time but I learned from experience that if you do get another, it is not a replacement as no one can ever REPLACE the one you loved and lost. They can however be succeeded. I got a different breed the second time to underline that even more. It will probably do you good to get another fish of similar size but different from the one you had so you can see the new one as his/her own unique little individual. God Bless

[@skedaddleskedoodle2640]

It says in the description that he liked being petted in life. These fish are pretty aggressive and even in its weakened state, I think it would have snapped at "Dad" if the attention was unwanted.

[@Coolrh13]

But he has an illness that could kill the rest of his fish plus he like being patted

I doubt he liked being "patted". Fish aren't dogs or cats they don't like being touched. Nor is it healthy for their slime coat. The poor guy was traumatized on his death bed.

Ugh... I'm not fuckin crying... 😭 Seriously, this hit home for me. When my cat Weasel succumbed to feline leukemia, I held him as he passed. When my mother lost the fight with pancreatic cancer, I put her little wooden cross in her right hand and held her left hand, stroking her hair as she breathed her last breath (I'm not even Christian, but she was, and I respected that dear woman enough to make sure she had the symbol of her faith close at hand in her final moments), telling her that it was ok to move on to the next life, that she didn't need to hurt anymore.... Seeing that same sense of empathy and compassion for that beautiful fish.. It gives me a little hope for humanity, even as it breaks my heart. This is beautiful. 💜

Probably a hospital tank but based on the description the owner loved the fish.

[@Coolrh13]

Its a hospital tank

[@umadbro5537]

My god I watched this when I was a child and it still hits me 8 years later

[@lilmassthegamer6702]

I'm crying so much😥😪😭That fish will be blessed by god.

[@kuzmakrasko6884]

I didn't know that fishes liked being petted?

[@nozii06]

they don't actually

[@emilybobify]

It depends on the fish. You can train a fish to like anything. My experience is that hand fed fish actually like being pet. I had a very large Oscar that was hand fed all of his food and he loved all kinds of interaction, especially being pet (because he knew he would immediately receive treats after that).

[@nozii06]

they don't like it, you just train them to make you feel like it like being pet. they are fish, remember, not a dog or a cat ...

[@ambiantnight]

nozii06 Wow a little heartless ain't you. And yes some do. I had an oscar who would seek it out. Not attack the hand but race to it and rub up against it. He was never trained or conditioned to like it. In fact he is the one who started it one day when I was cleaning his tank.

[@TheLightStudios356]

Kelley Dishington I wonder if it makes them feel like someone loves them. Which they are right.

[@johnyerkov1553]

you took very good care of that fish to get him that big I had fish that I Loved Before I had a piranha for 18 years when he died I cried I also had a Jack Dempsey for 10 years and he died also to get that fish that big you had to take very good care of him I see the love that you have in your hands that you are holding him and nurturing him in his last hours of his life you are a good man I am fighting back the tears right now because I know how it is to lose a fish people tell me it's just a fish but if you have a fish for years and he dies it's something that you hang onto I will never forget my piranhas he died about 8 months ago

[@reaganmain3118]

Awww😖😭😭I'm so sorry for your loss that is so sad

[@strongdelusions2252]

Fuck that, I was gonna get some beautiful fish, but not after this sad video. float on buddy. Float in peace.

[@queencool45aj31]

There are fish in some stores that are not taken care of. I would suggest to save one and give them a happy and fulfilling life. :)

[@DucTran-pw9yh]

It probably lived in their house as a family pet for about 6-7 years

[@GilcherVision]

I'm sorry but if you cared so much about your fish, you woulda gave him a bigger tank a long long time ago, probably would've added on to his lives span. he clearly was stressed out being in a bath tub for 5 years

[@MotoVenture.]

Medical tank..

[@DukeNukem713]

You're an idiot. Obviously a quarantine tank. How stupid can you be?

[@Jb546j]

***** You are quite the troll...

[@willsmith9852]

Jake Venom How is Mark trolling? it IS a quarantine tank.

[@LinkEX]

Will Smith Yeah, he misused the term. I think what he meant was that Mark goes around calling other people idiots for accusing him of not getting a better tank when it's in fact "obviously" a quarantine tank. I'm not saying making accusations is the right thing to do when you don't know anything about the subject, but the concept of a quarantine tank isn't general knowledge either.

[@R2Deadpan]

sorry for your loss dude

[@jcole1464]

You can tell that the fish didn't wanna die and he has him in a small tank and that fish still loves you man you cared about that fish and that fish cared about you it was nice for you to comfort him before he passes

[@elrey4137]

Hahaha that fish didn't have human emotions nor human abstraction, he lived and just died, the only idiots feeling something are you people thinking it was a kid or something. Fuck, grow a pair.

[@razewyd]

I'm sorry that your Fish died but you were treating him or her so nicely

[@marsgreen948]

All life matters...

[@1982dungle]

I'm sorry for your loss I understand how it feels to lose a pet

[@laurabanchannel]

i cryed lol xxx aww

[@IceMaverick1986]

We both cried. That's horrible how he died. :'(

[@laurabanchannel]

ikr

[@chichichi434]

How/why did he die? That tank was too small too

[@hungrydinogamingmares5001]

WE WANNA KNOW

[@ozrealix803]

+chi chi chi old and weak probably, prone to illness when you're old (same as humans) I guess :v

[@dawnjarvis6029]

It's not to small........

[@ariteokai337]

I believe it was a tumor in his head, but if not, then it would mostly be old age and weakness.

[@ozrealix803]

Omega Gaming that tumor u said is actually the reason why we call these fish as flowerhorn cichlid lol :v

[@rinslack]

Ohhh man. I've ggot one that is about 12" long too, and he's 3 years old. This video made me cry. I know its a while back now but that musta really sucked. He had you there right to the end. That was nice and sweet of you. I lost a female anout 6 months ago cause my boy got bigger than her and attacked her til it was kinder to take her out. She went much the same way Red did there in the bottome, but she was in the net, in the water, away from him and just went. i think she knew. I love them both but my boy, Bob is well, my boy.Heartbreaking video man, sorry for your loss

[@dantaliansaint]

should've done a fish fry in his memory. it's basically cremation tbh

[@watchdog7310]

dantaliansaint no

[@kyzertv8443]

Lmao

[@Squeakwee]

[@MysticalSky1]

[@MysticalSky1]

fucking undertale is everywhere goddammit!

[@vampcute]

I've watch this in 2012 now 216 its still gets me in the heart ❤ such great fish you have 😢😢💟

[@dayzdeadz9955]

That's a big goldfish

[@erikavalle5897]

its not a gold fish

[@southfloridafishing2103]

Its a Midas cichlid. I know cause there invasive here in FL

[@southfloridafishing2103]

+The Gaming Betta yup , but lets be honest , the invasive species actually make the fishing better

[@lawrencebader9399]

clove oil used to euthanize the fish would have been more humane that to let him die like this

[@east.coast.herpetology7104]

Red devils have been know to live up to 10 years plus so the old age idea isn't correct

[@superraremartian]

justin ambroise medical problems?

[@Saekalive]

justin ambroise red devils have an average lifespan of 4-6 years in normal condittions as this tank. 10 years is extreme for any fish.

[@superraremartian]

nice research dude

[@daveburr2861]

***** actually yeah

[@jbean530]

It's sad when your pet looks to you for help. So sorry for your loss.

[@haydengibson1996]

I don't even flush my fish... I burry them. Is that wrong?

[@fishinfools183]

+??? ??? my made my day

[@vladimirhorowitz]

Nope, I do the same thing. I think flushing a dead pet is a tremendously disrespectful and unceremonious act.

[@2o9cohl]

YOU ARE AN IDIOT

[@solaireofastora3842]

no I make a little wooden box and bury tham

[@queencool45aj31]

I bury my fish too because I love my fish and when I flush them (I only did it once) I feel so guilty and sad due to the fact it seems sad to not do it in a proper or faithful way.

[@kayden2283]

I'm crying 😭

[@isufan2388]

It brought me to tears to see how much a fish owner can love his pet

[@matttelevisionmt2382]

awww i am so sorry:(

[@franciscorios57]

"dude leave me alone I'm trying to die in peace"

[@hoenn4ever829]

I know this video is 1 decades old but man, I still feel so bad about Red's death. I'm glad you managed to move on (obviously), judging by how you're doing in your latest video which was 4 years ago or so.

[@ciarasavoy3436]

is this the fish that was playing with the man in all the American vines cause if it that is bloody sad but even if he wasn't then it's still sad r.i.p I also have a very strong connection with my fish even if they don't know it

[@queencool45aj31]

Can you link that Vine to me or the compilation where the Vine shows up in?

[@ciarasavoy3436]

just type in man playing with fish and click on the first video that pops up

[@queencool45aj31]

Ciara Savoy Okay

[@altth3alt312]

why is there 600 dislikes... it is terrible

[@altth3alt312]

also I think he died from that HUGE lump on his head

[@antonyynotna2268]

lol

[@geckoleopardgecko3338]

This is so sad, I almost cried, he's beautiful and your amazing people helping him like that. You clearly know what your doing, and I'm sorry this happened to you, red is in a better place now, and swimming happily again.

[@kevinalexander6971]

I'm so sorry

[@reaganmain3118]

I'm crying

[@arasionomio7283]

It's heart breaking to see him go away :(

[@reaganmain3118]

So sad 😭
