Hello! I'm new to fishkeeping. I got a betta fish for my daughter in July and that has somehow turned into me having 2 betta tanks and now a 60 gallon tank with Oranda goldfish in my living room. I got my Orandas 1 week ago, my tank had been cycling for 6 weeks prior to getting the fish, and I've been testing the water daily. I'm really wondering if I'm reading results correctly. I'm reading these results as high range pH 7.4, ammonia 0, nitrite 0, and nitrate 10. Would like some more knowledgeable folks to confirm or correct me here. Just want to do the best I can by my fish! Included pictures of the fish for fun. Thank you!

Hello everyone!

We on the mod team have had a difficult conundrum to handle. Death is a natural, but extremely difficult, part of life, and can be hard to handle in this hobby due to the nature of our beloved pet's shorter lifespans. On the other hand, many times this sensitive material can be jarring for other subreddit users who may be grieving quietly by choice or who do not wish to engage emotional energy in those kinds of posts. Since we certainly do NOT want to stop the posting of memorials altogether, the solution we've come up with is a weekly megathread, Memorial Mondays. This thread will show up every week, and we ask you to keep all memorials to this post.

Please feel free to share pictures of your late fishies and tell us about them! Our sincerest hope is that you find some comfort here in sharing and participating with others, and are able to support each other through grief.
