Today, my dad decided to clean my 20 gallon fish tank. I had 6 fish. One of them was called a transparent fish, clear with a bright orange tail, which was my favorite. My dad didn't see it, and dumped the water out along with it. FML

There are no fish called "transparent fish". There are glass fish, which are not completely transparent and if you're seeing it with a bright orange tail, it was probably dyed. Either way, your father shouldn't be cleaning your fish tank by "dumping" it out, which would be stressful to the fish and harmful to the tank's bacteria colonies. He should have been using a siphon which, when used correctly in the gravel, will not suck up fish. YDI for probably making all this up. And BTW, for all who are arguing, there are hundreds of published books and reports that use the term "fishes" as a plural for "fish". It can indeed work both ways.

I love the grammar trolls xD telling the op they deserve it because they used improper plurals. yes, I used the plural "they" in lieu of a singular pronoun: what now, bitches?! what now?!

There's no such thing as a "transparent fish" dumbass. And you shouldn't be dumping out water to clean your tank.

There's things very close to it. It was probably slightly translucent.

She wasn't the one dumping the water, her dad was. Duh. Op, I'm sorry about your fish...my mom went to clean out my fish tank, which had my beloved fair prize goldfish that had been living for a little over a year! She put some weird "good energy" rock in it and the next day the fish was dead :( rip Herbert

"'fishes'?? what the hell is fishes!" oh God, because of that one error, none of the fml even makes sense anymore! think of the children! dear God, someone please think of the children! the use of two question marks is redundant, by the way; maybe you could put one of those bad boys at the end of your second question. I see you decided an exclamation point would work better. have a nice day :]

I clicked YDI for the way you typed your name.

I think YDI because your dad was most likely cleaning it because it was dirty and probably had been that way for a while. If you had cleaned your own tank, there wouldn't have been a problem.
