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!
You made me cry about a fish dude. good job
I just cried watching that video too. But then i read your comment & you made me laugh my arse off :)
It made me cry a lot and my fish died last week
Kawaii Unicorn fish don't go to havein
Gage Eiler How do u know that?
zeoz911 it say it in the biyel
a friend is a friend no matter the species. it's still sad.
Preach
I know right! My Guinea pig Oreo just died today!
well said
That's nice
+UndeadWolfofAshes It's crazy we as humans can make just about anything seem sad.
I'm so sorry for your loss how kind of you to treat your fish so nicely
Q
Fish are friends, not food. ;-;
Revelin what about fish food?
Stfu you vegan
Fish are food bro 😂
The same people who say "it's only a fish", would also likely say, "it's only a dog".
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"
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.
starllightplaysmc 158 glad someone understands :)
MwR52981 WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY TARTER SAUCE?!
*****
THE FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLZZZZZZ
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.
Could have a been an hospital tank?
I didn't even think about that. I think you're right. There's no substrate in there.
Elliott Florence Exactly what I was thinking while watching this before reading the comments lol you stole my comment.... poor Red
tarrikk vanalstine your right ...quarintine tank
@@yunge9482 that was his permanent tank.
I'm crying so hard because he's calming the fish and helping it and the fish is laying down and he doesn't want to face the truth 😭😭😭
I've had the same feeling of losing a pet and it was a fish too but it was sad because something I cared about for for 3 years was just gone 😔😔😔😫😩😩😭😭😭
I know 😢
my fish died 🐟 RIP
+Kelly M's 💞 The bad part about is that Animals do not have a soul. 😳✌
+Kiki4Life TM OK so ur saying humans do not have a soul because we r animals too and everyone single animal on this planet ever to live HAS A SOUL
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. 😭🙏🏼
This is heartbreaking. I'm emotional over a fish I never met! :(
so sad i dont know this fish i ❤animals R.I.P
+Tony Daniels that is so sad
Any animal. Is sad to me
+Chloe Richards me too! I hate it I cri evrytime
this is sad because he was family and I'm not in it but I still creid leave a like
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.
HOSPITAL TANK
Yea or some people call them sick tanks
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.
this video makes me so emotional every time...this video saved my soul from being so numb...never delete this
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
+Invisble Plays I know but I can at least send my apologies
when I know a fish is dying is when he/she starts swimming poorly and sideways I got a lot of fish and R.I.P red
+GTRZ FISHTANKS well it might be the slightest bit hard to tell if a fish is dying. It's not like it's a piece of cake unless you look a bunch of stuff up. How am I an idiot for asking about his fish?
Dena Mello how can you not tell a fish is dying ? When is just floating or poorly swimming
who else got a little emotional when the fish was no longer moving... :c
I did it hurts me more because I'm an anamal lover and I like the ones that live in water the most
yea it was sad.
I did
I did to😭
I was MORE than emotional. :( SO SAD.
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.
I had a feeder gold fish for 8 years as a pet and when he died I was devastated
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.
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.
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!!!
Miranda Carroll Goldfish normally grow up to nine inches. There should be ten gallons of water per fish. ^___^
I'm cryinggggggggggggg
*_what is marissa doing here_*
Dude...this made me cry. I am so sorry for your loss. All animals deserve love. You gave your friend that. You have renewed my faith in humanity. Peace.
Thanks for sharing! You look like a very compassionate owner. Just lost mine a month ago. It broke my heart. This made me cry like a baby.
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
I love fish, it's always sad to see them go even if a lot of people don't understand just how heart breaking it can be.
Dover it is very heart breaking.
he's in a better place😏
in ocean HELL
cold hunter no. that's where people like you go.
why the emoji
xXNEOANXx
Wow your a pet hater
xXNEOANXx omg u are a pet hater I didn't want to belive but the signs are all there they tried to tell me but I was blind how could u after everything?
That's why I don't ever plan on having a pet because it's very painful when you lose them...
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.
+iHeavenlyKing Warframe I've got to agree with Dylan here Byakuya. The happy moments with them is worth risking their loss.
+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.
But it's very great to have one. :)
+Master Chief (AmericanShnazz) lol so true
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.
Damn those tears. A friend is a friend, no matter who or what it is.
dont worry, the fish can be reborn as his children, grandchildren or great grandchildren after death... :)
R.I.P RED
Wait wait DO YOU KNOW YOU CAN CLONE THINGS IN REAL LIFE?
SoreBarrel60 yup, some will go hell, some go heaven... :)
+SoreBarrel60 😂
+Juju_ DN hey do u know what type of fish this is?
A cuddle with dad before returning to heaven's great rainbow lake. This was such a sweet video. I think I'm going to cry now.
The Cat Ate My Shoe damn this comment made me cry even more. Hahaha good word play my friend.
all of us here will die because we can't live forever and we die with our love ones like my dog max I grow up with him since I was 2 and when I tune 11 he started staying on the same spot the next day he fall asleep in peace and I cried for 1 month but a man's best friend will always be with you so enjoy life with the one you love because life could be very long or very short💖
MrRight I hope you’re okay mentally. You’re exhibiting signs of psychopathic tendencies if you enjoy watching animals die. Get help.
MrRight well ain't you a bitch 🙄
Anna Larmore thx
Tritozia ty
I think this is the sweetest video ever.....I respect you so much.....I'm a vet tech I love animals of all kinds....anyone who could have anything bad to say or could have disliked this video is heartless and there something missing inside of them....O:-)O:-)O:-)O:-)rest in peace.
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.
Damn its a fish but im still crying. lol
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.
+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.
+TheRubyAmulet forgot to add, I would also be losing my snake, salzar slitherin, and my tortoise, secret agent.
+TheRubyAmulet Salazar slitherin ? harry potter rferencs?
+Benjamin Chisholm I didn't name him, my stepmom did, but yes, it is a Harry Potter reference.
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.
The poor fish was fighting to live
rip red your a true pet owner to love a fish that much
i dont know why but this video made me feel sad... R.I.P. Red
He was so beautiful! R.I.P. Red! :'(
if u dont care your jerks no matter the species it still sad
No, it was quite funny actually.
+Tickle Man it's not funny
+Carl Braxton Hey we all have opinions
Idiot
+Tickle Man What about a wasp?
+JPFAN1200 same that happen to me to with my fish and he died fuburary,16 i will be sad and hop he gets peace i will remember you fish nomader what and even do it may sound silly i crid for my fish

+Rogue Nugget SAME!! It's almost 4 AM!
+GeorgieMusicGirl it happens
+GeorgieMusicGirl this notification woke me up, now I'm sad again :c I cri evrytiem
James Garza same
Pussy.
Circle of Life stuff - he was was beautiful and always will be. Bless you for being such a good host to his life.
Rest In Peace, Red.You were loved very much. :(
Awww, so glad you comforted him. It's so sad to lose any pet.
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.
i'm so glad you were there for him for his last moments of life, he died happy and with a loving companion by his side :') thank you so much
so true
This is extremely sad and sorry even though this was years ago! I feel like crying.... I'm gonna go do that in the corner now....
R.I.P. Red.... Or Redd either way I MEAN IT!
Just saw this video just now too, and I almost broke down :( R.I.P Red, beautiful creature.
This is so sad I can't imagine how heartbroken he must've been :(
Awww I know! :( this is the reason why I've never had and animal friend because I wouldn't be able to handle the pain of them passing. :'(
Yeah...so sad :/
Court M that's ture
Am I the only one who still cries when flushing his fish?😭
I don't think you can flush that thing down a toilet
+SirCrazzy ya to be real I think that fish will only well........idk! I'm not smart about fish!
I wouldn't know, because I don't flush my fish down toilets. If one of my kids dies, I bury them in the garden.
I bury them in water proof containers in them in 2 feet
How would you flush a big fish I have big fish and none would fit
I had a red devil that lived 8 years before he got sick and I was unable to cure him. they are my favorite and most personable of all cichlids. I found your video very emotional.
this fish should have lived at least 10 years... if you had an decent sized tank for him, he wouldnt have died at 5
I was crying the whole time. I had this experience once, when my favorite betta fish, Apollo, died. He was an amazing fish, swam up to say hi every time I came up to his tank. In his last moments I stayed with him. He was my little Buddie. Apollo. and rest in peace red
My betta died just a little over a week ago :( I had for less than a year
Audrey Carriere My turtle died today during hibernation I went to check on her and she had been dead for a while her eyes werent there she was a baby turtle too R.I.P. Lucy
Logan Reptiles
:( My only male goldfish has a tumor... Poor fishy :( It would be a Christmas miracle if he lived :'(
My favorite goldfish got Swim bladder,Then constipated,then fin rot,then got swim bladder AND fin rot at the same time,after that got ich,then came back with constipation,had fin rot again,and then got ich once more all in less than a month before he died.I had to give him three treatments a day plus small peas to avoid constipation again :(
I'm sorry for your loss :(
Audrey Carriere Im just glad I didnt check on her on christmas becaues that would have been the worst christmas and day ever it already is me and my mom are going to bury her today and hope goldfish survives :) merry christmas I will pray for your goldfish
My god I watched this when I was a child and it still hits me 8 years later
So sad ,but it's nice to see you're love and comfort for him
beautiful fish... I like how people are so quick to judge...
yep with no gravle and fake plants it is easy to see that its a hospital tank. i bet its real tank was stunning
That's the only bad thing about getting a pet, is that it dies. whether its a dog or a fish.
Its really hard to watch this kind of moment on our life. He/She is thanking you for sure! For all those efforts from the beggining till the end! More people like you. I think the cause is the age
I’m late but it’s clear that fish really loved you and shared a special bond with you.
Way to make it's last moments unbearably stressful....
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.
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.
Zed Zul Zorander Shut up. The fish probably liked the comfort,
Zed Zul Zorander preech
That fish is bigger than my dog. 😉
Some people don't understand how attached a person can be to a fish. They have personality.
It probably lived in their house as a family pet for about 6-7 years
It's heart breaking to see him go away :(
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
aww it made me cry i hate seeing animals die it makes me cry :,(
Me to and I am a boy
im a girl
do you play animal jam
i do0
Richard Hodge Conversation: I am sad, I shall tell you my gender, do you play this game?
It's crazy because I had a goldfish that I had for over 10 years and it died in my hands too.
Mine to so sad
Thank you for letting that fish live the best life he could. He seems really well kept.
He died peacefully and I think he's happy u were there for him
I haven't been this emotional over a fish since finding nemo
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. 💜
that poor baby :( Im very sorry. Im glad he was comforted and loved before hand. He passed knowing he was/is loved :'). I held my bird in my hands and just sat there petting her during her last moments :/ But she knew she was loved
So sad, did you fry him up and dip him in tarter sauce after he died??
you got problems
hgchaser
OMG you are so mean..
i agrea Zoey
Devin Pogera *agree
sn9696
I was sad too, and like wtf but then he said "OMG you are so mean" on his on status then I lol'd... sorry... #TH-camCommentsAreTheBest #HandsDown #WhyIsThat
R.I.P
Red:you were a good fish
I always come back to this video like every other year since around 2009...Still R.I.P
It brought me to tears to see how much a fish owner can love his pet
All life matters...
Awww😖😭😭I'm so sorry for your loss that is so sad
I'm sorry for your loss I understand how it feels to lose a pet
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
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.
I actually cried😪
noty a very big tank for such a big guy
Probably a hospital tank but based on the description the owner loved the fish.
Its a hospital tank
It's sad when your pet looks to you for help. So sorry for your loss.
Very sorry for your loss. I'm sure he lived a good life and yes I do feel your pain.
This is so. My fish died not even after one day. I feel so bad
Sorry for your loss..was the tank less than five gallons? That might be the reason. Otherwise...I hope you got a new fish or even a community tank!! (^∇^)
dpz a small tank wouldn't kill it right away. It was sick most likely unless they didnt properly care for it.
😥😪😓😢😰😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 RIP Red this earth will miss you
I've watch this in 2012 now 216 its still gets me in the heart ❤ such great fish you have 😢😢💟
I've never cried so much before, I'm sorry for your loss!
Really? Never ever? And you did it for an unknown fish of a random person? You need to get a life ASAP.
El rey I have a big heart for fish, and I've never seen one die like this, it's just heartwarming and sad at the same time
sorry for your loss dude
I feel like he didn't let his death be painless. I know it was sad for him but still. I feel bad for him.
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.
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.
I'm crying so much😥😪😭That fish will be blessed by god.
I love fish but mine died this morning and I cried for 2 hours
you are a true fish lover and I thank u for u raising that beautiful flowerhorn I'm dealing with the same prob so I understand
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
i cryed lol xxx aww
We both cried. That's horrible how he died. :'(
ikr
I didn't know that fishes liked being petted?
they don't actually
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).
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 ...
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.
Kelley Dishington I wonder if it makes them feel like someone loves them.
Which they are right.
I'm sorry for your loss! 🙁❤
I remember my pleco. He grew around 4" and he was so nice. He died from a goldfish eating him from the inside. R.I.P. Kirby
the tank is clearly way too small sorry but this is the reason why the fish died, probably stress related from being confined to such a small space.
It's OBVIOUSLY a quarantine tank you fucking idiot. How dumb can you be? There is no substrate and no other fish.
***** Come on Anton. Isn't it OBVIOUS? Are you not a fish expert?!
yeah dude well telling someone that the reason their fish died is from something that you have zero knowledge about is a pretty ignorant move
if he isn't a fish expert then he shouldnt be acting like he knows what killed the fish
Vlad CoSack Then they shouldn't be talking like they know this shit. Lol
Vlad CoSack Yeah, no shit, so they shouldn't be acting like a fucking vet and giving out diagnoses of why his fish died when they don't know shit about shit.
So many fucking idiots on here I swear to god.
I'm sorry that your Fish died but you were treating him or her so nicely
# Ripred he'll never be forgotten with crying faces😢😢😢
im so sorry. Im crying as i write this comment i hope he had a great life
so sad...
i started crying
me too
I cryed like a baby
ikr
i cry to all animal things like this
Devin Pogera me to
Jesus Christ... Does that fish LOOK like it was kept in a fucking 10G?
There is nothing worse than someone saying something when they know sod all about it.
aahhh that is so sad! i'm glad you got to spend the last moments with him instead of coming home and finding him floading! i know its going to kill me when my dog dies!!! i'm sorry for your loss...
This is super sad and can tell you truly cared about red
