He used to live in a 10g tank with tons of snails and shrimp. Back then, he loved my presence. During feeding time he’d get excited to see me, and I’d even play with him.
Then I decided to transfer him to this big tub with guppies, mollies, shrimp, and all kinds of aquatic life. Ever since the transfer, he’s been busy exploring the tub, watching the shrimp, and doing whatever fish things he does all day.
Now when I feed him, he doesn’t want to play with me anymore. He just eats with the other fish and doesn’t even give me a single glance. I feel like I got abandoned by a friend who suddenly joined the popular group and forgot who was there from the beginning.
But hey… at least he’s thriving now. I guess I raised him well enough to leave me for a better social life. 🥲

I love him he’s so pretty!
He’s like a teenager now…he doesn’t wanna hang out with his parent
You just described my experience of being a mom of a middle schooler
You raised him to a big boy and it’s time to let him “leave the nest” 😭
