[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A year ago, we bought our DD a betta fish for her birthday. It started out in a bowl, then we bought a 3 gallon tank with a heater and filter and what have you. It was a fun hobby and everyone got a kick out of the fish. Now, it’s a year later and nobody cares about the fish. All the feeding and maintainence of the water levels and changes falls on me, and I’m kind of over it too. To make matters worse, it has some sort of issue with its eyes clouding over. My husband has told me to just flush it, the kids couldn’t care less if I did, but it doesn’t feel right. I’ve taken care of this damn fish for a year, and it feels personal. I don’t want to just flush it! That’s not even right! I listed it on our Listserve but disclosed that it may be sick with something or blind or who knows, so of course nobody wants it.

Am I overthinking this? Should I flush the thing and be done with it?[/quote]
Seriously?  Just keep taking care of it.  How big a deal can that be?  Ask your daughter to help you or take over if she's old enough.[/quote]
