We’ve got a wholesome story full of hope for you, dear Pandas. People are absolutely loving a viral TikTok video posted by @heretherebesculptures that shows how they rescued a sick and dying 10-year-old goldfish and then nursed it back to health.
Monstro the goldfish had lots of health problems: it couldn’t swim and as a result, developed lesions on its belly. However, the new owner set up a ‘fish hospital’ for Monstro with aquarium salt and changed the water daily.
The changes were slow but noticeable. Scroll down and have a look for yourself what swimmingly huge differences proper care and attention can bring about. This before-and-after is simply stunning!

Proper love, care, and attention can work wonders!
More than 5.9 million people viewed the viral TikTok video and over 1.5 million liked it. With stats like these, Monstro might just be one of the most popular fish in the vast waters of the world wide web.
Once the goldfish started eating and swimming bit by bit, its new owner moved it to a bigger aquarium with some friends to keep him company. The most striking difference was how Monstro changed its color from a very dark blue to a bright and healthy-looking orange!
If you’ve ever owned a goldfish, then you might have had to release it into the wild when it got too sick for you to take care of it. However, goldfish that are released this way can have a large (and negative) impact on local ecosystems, according to the BBC.
Researchers from Murdoch University in Perth found many goldfish that weighed over 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds). Meanwhile, the chonkiest freed goldfish they found weighed a whopping 1.9 kilograms (nearly 4.2 pounds).
There’s a common misconception about goldfish and their longevity. According to the RSPCA, most are known to live up to 25 years and some of them can reach over 40 centimeters (15.7 inches) in length! The oldest known goldfish Tish from Thirsk in North Yorkshire lived up to the age of 43 and died in 1999. Which just goes to show how much proper care can affect your pet’s longevity and health. We’re hoping that Monstro outlives Tish and has a long and bubbly life.
