    Matthew 13:15
    For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

    I knew all this about fish we have a pond and i would feed these big bass the live bait i didn't use and they still come to the same spot where i feed them for 2 years now and i don't feed them a lot so they can hunt but they do remember and my molly just died and my fish hasn't left the spot where her body was and now he is very sad wont leave that spot and doesn't want to eat they also remember who i am and like to come to the top the let me pet them they are a little weird but i love my fish and i don't flush them i barrie them when they die

    I once visited an aquarium where there were SHARKS living amongst NATURAL PREY! Seriously, that happened. The sharks get enough food that they don't even chase after the other fish.

    My fish died a couple of days ago, he went into those long pipes (i have no idea what there called) but its that long pipe thing that Nemo tried to escape through. Anyways he was really small and got stuck inside them and obviously died from not having water. My dad was cleaning the tank and the pipe, all you can see was his fish gut bits and fins teared apart and.. 😭😭 it was just so sadddd

    RIP Baby Mo Mo 🙏🏻 🐟
