Hey everyone! My apologies for my three week absence, but I hope you can understand and I'm feeling better and ready to get back to weekly videos again. Thank you all so much for your kind words of encouragement and support. Love my Goldie Gang!
Solid Gold Aquatics its OK, I know how hard it is... I was in psychological care for 4 months now... Enough from me, hope you stay strong for a long time. ❤
I missed you so much, but don't worry. I hope you get better! Thank you so much for making my own life better. You are my absolute favorite channel for goldfish.
Palmer is sweet. I'm happy you introduced him in this video! I'm also glad you are feeling better. Depression and anxiety is a tough road, and it's hard to navigate sometimes. Don't be sorry for anything, and always remember that you aren't alone. I look forward to your next video. Please show Palmer again!!!
You’re amazing for opening up and talking about such a personal subject. More people need to hear and understand that it’s an illness like cancer, diabetes and so on. Having suffered from bipolar disorder for the last forty years I am so happy to hear you address it and take it out of the dark ages. Thank you!
Take as much time as you need for yourself and personal health. At the end of the day you're personal life is what's important. Thank you for sharing tidbits of your pets and every day life when you do. You've always been super informative and a joy to watch
Hi Jennie; great to see you back. I can relate to what you said in your video as you basically described my life as well. I have suffered with depression for over 30 years and your videos always cheer me up. I hope you understand the positive effect you have on the lives of people like me. You say your channel is about your pets but to me, and I am sure many others, you are just as important. Your channel and others, like DIY Fiskeeper, are a comfortable place which always raises my mood. Thank you, and you should take a break whenever you need to.
I have struggled with crippling anxiety, depression, and OCD. I am only 12 years old and I have been misdiagnosed too many times to count. I know everyone is different but hearing that you struggle with it also made me sure I can get through it and get better. Feel better and know I’m always here for you.
I suggest putting something under the backside of the urn so that the front tilts forward more. It could help with the water flowing under the urn. Glad to hear you are feeling better!!
You definitely don't have to apologize! Fr! & I have suffered from depression & anxiety for 16yrs & bipolar disorder for 12! There's probably many more ppl who watch that suffer from the same & possibly even ppl with other mental health disorders, so you have nothing at all to apologize for! Your helping so many ppl just by them watching your videos!! 💗
Welcome back Jenny, glad your feeling better. Having had similar issues, I need to quickly say that Exercise 3 or 4 x weekly (Biking for me) neutralizes anxiety and fear, the same way that Dechlorinator neutralizes Tap water for my tank. Thanks again for the great videos :)
I call those times my deep dark hole. I understand exactly what you mean. Thank you for coming back! Being strong all the time will eventually break you. So let someone else be strong sometimes. And you’re so young! Don’t let yourself not ask for help. I’m almost 60 and I still can’t ask for help. Done end up like me. Please. Love yourself because you’re incredible.
I think learning to recognize triggers of the problem and responding to them before you reach the melting point is the best thing. I have to disconnect from people in my life at times as well and they aren't always understanding but it is what is best for me.
I can relate to your anxiety and depression. The only way I can get away from it is playing music and listening to music. Fishkeeping has really helped me keep busy and it's become a very healthy hobby for me to keep up with. Thank you for inspiring me!
You do what you need to do to help yourself and your mental care. I have depression and anxiety. So I completely understand 💙 you care so much of people and your pets. It’s okay to take care of yourself 💙 love you!!!! - Wendy from New York!!!
I totally understand the chronic pain and depression situation. I do believe that there is a time when being strong becomes hard. I go through like a mental break down and just spill out everything I am feeling. I am from Minnesota. Your videos are amazing. Being strong is sometimes all we have but when that becomes hard where do we have to turn to is our different emotions. So thank you for sharing and know that you are not alone. You are so amazing and help and show positive attitude towards each day it makes things easier for me to get through my days. I suffer with CRPS and PTSD so I understand. Again thank you so much.
I think its so admirable that you're able to do what you do although you're suffering at times. You're stronger than you give yourself credit for. And the joy you bring to so many of us through your cheerful videos is so much more amazing. You're a very special person Jenny.. and alot of us are praying, supporting and rooting for you. =)
Understand 💯 . If you need time girl, you take as much as you need. Ive suffered from depression and anxiety my whole life and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Your fans will hang by you side and support you all the way. Much love from Perth 🇦🇺
Honey, I have PTSD and I have to do the same thing. Unplug from EVERYTHING. I call it re-charging. Do what you need to do to survive. People don't like it, TOUGH. It's people that made us this way to begin with !!! People that don't understand can just BITE IT !! Peace and love to you.
Ah, thanks for sharing. I have anxiety and PTSD. I used to also have severe depression for several years. You are a very creative and high functioning artist. Probably more than you realize. You have also helped me very much with all your videos. So thank you for that. You’ve also probably saved a tone of fish with your educational videos. Also, I just love watching them because I find you very soothing and kind. Thank you, Heather from Washington state.
Yay Jenny!! You're the reason my boyfriend and I really got into fancy goldfish seriously - and actually learnt how to properly take care of them! You help and inspire us so much and yesterday we noticed we have successfully spawned fry!!! 😭😂🐠 so amazing! So much love Jenny!
Sian Pressly hope you realize 3 fancy goldfish have a minimum of 55g, and should have 150g as a permanent home if you want them to thrive. Considering she's keeping fancy's in a 30g, I wouldn't recommend taking much advice from her.
holdingoutforahero thanks for your response. We have always been planning on getting a bigger tank - as we all know, more space is better. However, Jenny has successfully kept fancy goldfish for many years now and I believe her minimum rule of 20 gallons for the first goldfish and 10 gallons for every other goldfish does work. Also depending on what stage (size) your goldfish are at. The bigger mine get, the bigger tank size I will need to go.
thank you for taking time to comment. I appreciate your advice. I currently only have the tank size I do and my fish are still small. I do maintain the tank VERY well and do frequent water changes - as I know that goldfish are dirty. I will be getting a bigger tank. Thanks
Sian Pressly the 20 gallon + 10 gallon rule is actually a myth. Many goldfish will develop stunt growth in a 20g. Heck, I've heard of a black moor getting stunted in a 200g. I understand you look up to Jenny, but I also know a successful keeper, and they reccommend minimums so that a goldfish will thrive, and not just barely survive, like a goldfish in a 20g. Fame doesn't mean the person knows what they're doing, sadly.
It's a bit rude of you to insinuate that just because someone has "fame" or subscribers, I would just believe them wholeheartedly - which isn't the case. I do get where you are coming from and I am always open to help and advice. I would like to know what your rule of thumb is for goldfish tank size? I of course have no intention of harming my fish or flogging off comments or anything, but I really thought over a year's worth of research would've at least taught me something. Very hard to get proper care information.
Growing up, it was taboo to talk about depression and anxiety. So many times I was told I was just being dramatic and needed to "cheer up". I had to learn to mask it from others, so I know it's not easy to share. Everyone deserves to take a break and take care of themselves. I stumbled across your videos when I was dealing with some hard things in my life last year. It was watching your videos that got me into keeping goldfish. I absolution love their little wiggle butts and my husband referred to them as my water pups. My fish are not just my hobby but my emotional therapy. Thank you for all the videos you have posted and continue to post!
You are so sweet! And I know exactly what you are talking about, I struggle with anxiety and depression too. Virtual hug to you Jenny, you are so inspiring to me and now that I know you struggle with same things I do you are even more. Much love from Finland ❤
So sweet of you to share. I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve been going through a difficult time. I can truly sympathize as I suffer with chronic pain and depression as well. Hang in there and know that you’re loved and I really enjoy your videos. Thank you
I don't often come across someone who talks about having depression and anxiety that also suffers from chronic pains . I have similar issues and took a RUclips break for about 6 months. Self care is so important, I'm glad you took some time for yourself to recollect and get back into a better and healthier mind set 😘❤️
You are a true inspiration. I struggle with the same issues. Time for your self is the healthiest thing you can do! Thank you for bringing goldfish back in to my life ( after 20 plus years keeping fish and reptiles). Always remember that you are loved.
Oh no baby. Hope you are feeling better I know it's really tough to fight against our own negative thoughts. You don't have to be strong all the time you are important and loved. Be kind to yourself, pamper yourself. You deserve to be calm and in peace and this beautiful work you do with animals just shows how kind and beautiful you are not only in the outside but in the inside too. Hugs!
Im so sorry to hear that. Depression is terrible. Please take care of yourself first. I appreciate all of your hard work. When you take care of your pets, but still able to share your video with us. Appreciate your time. God bless you
THANK YOU so much for sharing a little bit about your life... Your words have a positive impact on people going through similar issues - AND it helps other people better support and understand
Praying you feel better. Chronic pain with anxiety and depression are signs of fibromyalgia. I suffer from this also. You get to a point where you feel overwhelmed and have to take care of yourself. I call it.. 'crashing , and it's hell. Love and prayers 💞
Hi, I just discovered you and your ponds are beautiful and so are you! I live with bipolar so understand the ups and downs. I am so glad I found your channel and look forward to seeing all your animals x Cherie
Me too! I have bipolar 🎭 and depression, and ptsd. I understand how you feel. My depression improved when my doctor added Welbutrin 450mg to boost my Cymbalta. I started with 150mg, then 300mg, then 450mg. It took time to get the right dosage but now I feel a lot better! I get manic and depressive episodes with my bipolar, and thw depressive episode is hard to deal with. I cry easily. But most of the time I feel good. Up and down mood swings are difficult. I stay in pajamas alll day when I'm depressed. I get depression when I'm tired and hungry, and when my siblings have drama. Hang in there! 💖💕😎😁😉
I know what you mean, my wife also suffers from depression and several other ailments and suffers from cronic pain, I really hadn’t had any prior experience with someone dealing with depression and multiple problems like what my wife is going through. I’m glad you know when to step back and concentrate on you and your issues because you come first an foremost, but I love, admire and learned a lot from your videos, you rock!
OMG. The pond on the table, girl! OMG I LOVE it! I am so similar to you with everything you spoke about. It's a real thing. Your waterfall in the back is awesome too. I also have two turtles and 4 dogs. I understood your boyfriend/dog comment. You are so creative and inspiring.
I totally understand your need for breaks. Please please take as many as you need, your health is WAY more important to us than your youtube channel. You're still an amazing person, and I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we will always stand by your side
Thank you! I am sorry you have to live with this, but on the flip side, to see that you can helps people who are also struggling. Remember every like is someone that you have helped and given some knowledge. Your video are fun and really helpful.
Oh hunny I hear you. Life isn't fun sometimes but one has to keep their head up and keep moving forwards and upwards no matter what. Glad your feeling better.
Bock flower makes a natural product for depression. I had panic attacks for years. My son put me on that plant base product and I have for over a year Ben free from any attacks. You are a smart beautiful lady and I’ll be praying for you as you move forward in your Journey. P.s I’m 74.
You have infinite support. Do what you need to do and take your time. You are an inspiration and very loved. I have been where you are (and am currently struggling 😞). Enjoy your fish and spend time with your animals. We'll be here when you get back.
Jenny you are so strong ! you will always have us for support ! does anybody want Jenny to do a room tour or maybe like a separate channel thats more like her life ? cause i really would love that !!!!
When you said one of my boyfriends...dogs hahahhaa i didnt hear the dogs part and i laughed sooo hard! Love your videos im sorry no one deserves the darkness depression brings xx
Me - *goes all mama bear* "Boyfriend! You have a boyfriend? What's his name and criminal record? I will gut punch him if he hurts you. I have a shovel too." *takes deep breath* "Love ya."
A lot of people who struggle with that just feel things so deeply. It makes it very difficult to separate themselves from the strife laden world around them. That's how it is for me anyway. God bless and keep up the good work!
god bless you been a chronic pain suffer since 6 yr (horse accident) plus Depression on top of that, so i feel your pain, My animals are my escape. stay strong and i love your you tube channel. learn so much from you so stay strong! when you need time out we will understand.....xxxx LOVE YOUR GOLD FISH!! And hi from Australia.
Hi Nice to see someone who is like me do something they really enjoy I've been depressed since I was 12 years old I am naw 26 but what helped me as well as my family is knowing theres people like you that keep strong which helps me no I can do it to through every dark thaught there's always a brighter and mutch clearer thaught keep strong keep making your vids you are the youtube star. Ryan
I personally would love to see some Celestial goldfish in the patio pond. The effect of little eyeballs looking up at you as you gaze down into the water would just be absolutely mesmerizing
Your dramatics are so me. We are the same. I suffer from Chronic Pain and PTSD that causes Panic and Anxiety. Every once in a blue moon, Suicidal Thoughts, but channels like yours and my animals and family keep me going!!
Just to let you know Turtles are the hardest pets to keep, they live MANY MANY years and they get huge specially Red sliders. I keep over 10 hermann's Tortoises that laid eggs and now I have to take care of 5 hatchlings. Also I keep 1 Chinese Thread Turtle and two Mississippi map turtle and holy crap they are hard to keep 😧😵
TortoiseFan Easter Sunday last year I found a Map hatchling next to our churches front steps. The bayou was across the street! Brought him home in an aquarium for a year. Let him go then. Didn’t want him getting run over.
I have a close family member who's had chronic hip pain since he was 25. For years he endured excruciating nerve damage on his left siadic nerve. It changed him. Over time he lost his patience. But he got it back. He's an extraordinary person who've overcome giant mountains of life. That's my dad.
Your ponds are beautiful ! My only concern is the plants you have placed in your patio pond, as irises are toxic to cats and dogs, and it appears your cats have access to the pond. I would research the plants you brought and make sure they are cat- and dog-safe.
I totally understand needing to unplug. I'm glad you are so self aware. This is my first time seeing any of your videos. I'm glad I came across your channel.
I have a suggestion concerning the water dripping down the neck of the urn. Let the urn dry completely. In the area where water run/drips make water channel with hot glue. Let the Channel or spout hang lower than the lip of the urn. The flowing water hides the hot glue and the water will flow down the hot glue spout. If it doesn't work, hot glue is easy to remove from terracotta or ceramic.
I struggle through anxiety and depression and I also have 3 ryukin goldfish and 1 black Moore they are to young to breed they are about 5-9 months and your channel helps improve my fish and what you are doing is great not only for us subscribers but for you to keep up the great work!!!
I just bought my two first telescopes a few days ago because I couldn’t get enough of yours and decided I need some!!! I have a 2.5 inch red and black butterfly and a 1 inch panda and I’m super excited to watch them grow!!! Thank you I love them so much!!! And I’m so glad you’re feeling better! 😊
I am sending you prayers and can tell from your spirit you'll be fine, praise God! I had an outdoor pond with shubunkin and a really cool bull frog, water lettuce, water hyacinth, yellow flag. My husband at the time built it, it was amazing, a wonderful hobby to have. He would change the water, i want to say twice a month, and would put the old water on the butterfly bush. That got to be over 15 feet tall, it was a great back yard!! I think I'm going to try a small one like you have on your deck, thank you for your video dear. On a personal note I've got pain and depression too, you're not alone. Thank you for your inspiration and video!!!
There goes RUclips again, suggesting stuff I never would have sought on my own...and in this case, I loved it. I wish I could do this, but we have feral cats in our backyard :( I hope you're doing well; depression is hard to deal with and if it wasn't for my wife's boundless support (and some meds), I would be in a much worse place.
Just found ur channel and I AM HOOKED! I also suffer from chronic pain issues on top of depression n anxiety. Please never feel that u have to say sorry for taking some me time! Definitely glad u came backa
I totally agree about being able to get away from it all. Stress can grow without us being aware of it to the point of being crushing. Good for you to get way. Stay safe out there.

I missed you so much, but don't worry. I hope you get better! Thank you so much for making my own life better. You are my absolute favorite channel for goldfish.
Palmer is sweet. I'm happy you introduced him in this video! I'm also glad you are feeling better. Depression and anxiety is a tough road, and it's hard to navigate sometimes. Don't be sorry for anything, and always remember that you aren't alone. I look forward to your next video. Please show Palmer again!!!
Kimber-Lynn Ward Palmer will be so happy to know he has a new fan!
You’re amazing for opening up and talking about such a personal subject.
More people need to hear and understand that it’s an illness like cancer, diabetes and so on.
Having suffered from bipolar disorder for the last forty years I am so happy to hear you address it and take it out of the dark ages.
Thank you!
Take as much time as you need for yourself and personal health. At the end of the day you're personal life is what's important. Thank you for sharing tidbits of your pets and every day life when you do. You've always been super informative and a joy to watch

its crazy how much grammar matters lmao, terrible
Sounds weird when English is your native tongue too.
She’s saying she has more then one bf
Me too, i was like "say what now?".
Why would it matter if she had more than 1 boyfriend?
You are so sweet! And I know exactly what you are talking about, I struggle with anxiety and depression too. Virtual hug to you Jenny, you are so inspiring to me and now that I know you struggle with same things I do you are even more. Much love from Finland ❤

I started with 150mg, then 300mg, then 450mg. It took time to get the right dosage but now I feel a lot better! I get manic and depressive episodes with my bipolar, and thw depressive episode is hard to deal with. I cry easily. But most of the time I feel good. Up and down mood swings are difficult. I stay in pajamas alll day when I'm depressed. I get depression when I'm tired and hungry, and when my siblings have drama. Hang in there! 💖💕😎😁😉
I know what you mean, my wife also suffers from depression and several other ailments and suffers from cronic pain, I really hadn’t had any prior experience with someone dealing with depression and multiple problems like what my wife is going through.
I’m glad you know when to step back and concentrate on you and your issues because you come first an foremost, but I love, admire and learned a lot from your videos, you rock!
OMG. The pond on the table, girl! OMG I LOVE it! I am so similar to you with everything you spoke about. It's a real thing. Your waterfall in the back is awesome too. I also have two turtles and 4 dogs. I understood your boyfriend/dog comment. You are so creative and inspiring.
I totally understand your need for breaks. Please please take as many as you need, your health is WAY more important to us than your youtube channel. You're still an amazing person, and I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we will always stand by your side
Thank you! I am sorry you have to live with this, but on the flip side, to see that you can helps people who are also struggling.
Remember every like is someone that you have helped and given some knowledge. Your video are fun and really helpful.
I’m glad to see you back. And glad you are feeling better. Nothing to apologize for, your doing great.
Woolly Thyme will grow low and smell wonderful and has tiny purple flowers.And Grows real fast very beautiful around rocks.
Oh hunny I hear you. Life isn't fun sometimes but one has to keep their head up and keep moving forwards and upwards no matter what. Glad your feeling better.

Very brave girl to share and I'm sure you have helped people out here in you-tube land. Love your passion for this hobby but we care about you most.
Welcome Back! Great to see the water features! Enjoy
Greg Wittstock, The Pond Guy did you build that pond?
Bock flower makes a natural product for depression. I had panic attacks for years. My son put me on that plant base product and I have for over a year Ben free from any attacks. You are a smart beautiful lady and I’ll be praying for you as you move forward in your Journey. P.s I’m 74.
Palmer is so cute!
(Also missed you :3)
You have infinite support. Do what you need to do and take your time. You are an inspiration and very loved. I have been where you are (and am currently struggling 😞). Enjoy your fish and spend time with your animals. We'll be here when you get back.

Jenny you are so strong ! you will always have us for support ! does anybody want Jenny to do a room tour or maybe like a separate channel thats more like her life ? cause i really would love that !!!!
When you said one of my boyfriends...dogs hahahhaa i didnt hear the dogs part and i laughed sooo hard! Love your videos im sorry no one deserves the darkness depression brings xx
people love and respect you. I suffer from depression and anxiety and it got worse when I lost my job 10 yrs ago. love and respect from brooklyn.
Me - *goes all mama bear* "Boyfriend! You have a boyfriend? What's his name and criminal record? I will gut punch him if he hurts you. I have a shovel too."
*takes deep breath*
"Love ya."
I think that's papa bear...
MAXXL Assuming my gender bc of my RUclips name? 😂😂😂
Ash Night "Did you just assume my gender?" *Triggering intensifies*
A lot of people who struggle with that just feel things so deeply. It makes it very difficult to separate themselves from the strife laden world around them. That's how it is for me anyway. God bless and keep up the good work!
I am so glad you are back, amazing pond!!!
god bless you been a chronic pain suffer since 6 yr (horse accident) plus Depression on top of that, so i feel your pain, My animals are my escape. stay strong and i love your you tube channel. learn so much from you so stay strong! when you need time out we will understand.....xxxx LOVE YOUR GOLD FISH!!

*I'm the same way. Depression, chronic pain, anxiety. There's nothing wrong with taking care of yourself. I'm glad your feeling better.*
Some jikins might look nice 👌. Or maybe some top view ranchu? In the end its your choice tho ❤❤😊😊🐠🐟🐠🐟

I personally would love to see some Celestial goldfish in the patio pond. The effect of little eyeballs looking up at you as you gaze down into the water would just be absolutely mesmerizing
Haha! "One of my boyfriend's dogs." For a second I was like thinking, dang girl. How many boyfriends you got?
Your dramatics are so me. We are the same. I suffer from Chronic Pain and PTSD that causes Panic and Anxiety. Every once in a blue moon, Suicidal Thoughts, but channels like yours and my animals and family keep me going!!
When you said one of my boyfriends dogs I thought you had multiple boyfriends I never thought he’d have more than one dog lol
Stay strong, Jenny! You're a treasure to this community!
I LOVE!!!! Palmer I’m going to look at a German Shepherd puppy tomorrow if Palmer had a channel I would subscribe also glad your back!!!!
What a lovely girl...very sorry for your pain, so young...I know what it means. All the best wishes and love to all your pets!
Just to let you know Turtles are the hardest pets to keep, they live MANY MANY years and they get huge specially Red sliders. I keep over 10 hermann's Tortoises that laid eggs and now I have to take care of 5 hatchlings. Also I keep 1 Chinese Thread Turtle and two Mississippi map turtle and holy crap they are hard to keep 😧😵
TortoiseFan Easter Sunday last year I found a Map hatchling next to our churches front steps. The bayou was across the street! Brought him home in an aquarium for a year. Let him go then. Didn’t want him getting run over.
As someone who owns many animals including turtles, they are not the most difficult. Try a parrot who needs 8-12 hours of social interaction a day.
I have a close family member who's had chronic hip pain since he was 25.
For years he endured excruciating nerve damage on his left siadic nerve.
It changed him. Over time he lost his patience. But he got it back.
He's an extraordinary person who've overcome giant mountains of life.
That's my dad.
Your ponds are beautiful ! My only concern is the plants you have placed in your patio pond, as irises are toxic to cats and dogs, and it appears your cats have access to the pond. I would research the plants you brought and make sure they are cat- and dog-safe.
I seccond this! Please always make sure anything your pets have access to is not toxic :(
I totally understand needing to unplug. I'm glad you are so self aware. This is my first time seeing any of your videos. I'm glad I came across your channel.
when she said “one of my boyfriends dogs” i thought she meant she had multiple boyfriends 🤦♀️ i’m retarded
I have a suggestion concerning the water dripping down the neck of the urn. Let the urn dry completely. In the area where water run/drips make water channel with hot glue. Let the Channel or spout hang lower than the lip of the urn. The flowing water hides the hot glue and the water will flow down the hot glue spout. If it doesn't work, hot glue is easy to remove from terracotta or ceramic.
attention to Grimm 💜
He's my baby
I struggle through anxiety and depression and I also have 3 ryukin goldfish and 1 black Moore they are to young to breed they are about 5-9 months and your channel helps improve my fish and what you are doing is great not only for us subscribers but for you to keep up the great work!!!
Haven't seen you in a while crazy fish lady xD
I just bought my two first telescopes a few days ago because I couldn’t get enough of yours and decided I need some!!! I have a 2.5 inch red and black butterfly and a 1 inch panda and I’m super excited to watch them grow!!! Thank you I love them so much!!! And I’m so glad you’re feeling better! 😊
Place a wedge or some piece to Lyft the back of the vase to redirect the water.
I am sending you prayers and can tell from your spirit you'll be fine, praise God! I had an outdoor pond with shubunkin and a really cool bull frog, water lettuce, water hyacinth, yellow flag. My husband at the time built it, it was amazing, a wonderful hobby to have. He would change the water, i want to say twice a month, and would put the old water on the butterfly bush. That got to be over 15 feet tall, it was a great back yard!! I think I'm going to try a small one like you have on your deck, thank you for your video dear. On a personal note I've got pain and depression too, you're not alone. Thank you for your inspiration and video!!!
There goes RUclips again, suggesting stuff I never would have sought on my own...and in this case, I loved it. I wish I could do this, but we have feral cats in our backyard :(
I hope you're doing well; depression is hard to deal with and if it wasn't for my wife's boundless support (and some meds), I would be in a much worse place.
Just found ur channel and I AM HOOKED! I also suffer from chronic pain issues on top of depression n anxiety. Please never feel that u have to say sorry for taking some me time! Definitely glad u came backa
Are you a SIAnatics?
just found ya channel and you got a new subscriber ❤
Gobble Kronme same
It makes me so happy to see someone so passionate about goldfish. I love them so much
The algae is not actually a bad thing. It produces oxygen.
Well it's a plant so yeah
I totally agree about being able to get away from it all. Stress can grow without us being aware of it to the point of being crushing. Good for you to get way. Stay safe out there.
