My platy died of swim bladder disease and my molly was sick for weeks and i put her to sleep. So I go to put my 2 neons in the big tank with the blood parrot eventhough I knew I shouldnt. I took my chances and did it anyways because I wanted to change the gravel in the 5 gallon and HE ATE THEM!!!!!!!! :sad :sad :sad :sad I tried to save them but I couldn't and it was all my fault. I shouldn't have done it. I have killed so many of my fish :sad I cant take it anymore because I love all animals so much and even my fish like they were my children. I couldn't take the sickness, worrying, and dying anymore. Now I am very depressed and haveing a very bad day because I miss them so much already. The worst part is not knowing the practices of the person who took them eventhough I know she probably will take good care of them, but I don't really trust anyone to take care of them as well as I would have :sad
Aww that's too bad... It's all part of the learning experience though. I have been keeping fish steadily for a few years now and have wanted to quit a few times. Everytime a fish dies, either from sickness or age, or some stupid mistake I made, I feel absolutely horrible. Maybe you should take a break from it and try again in a few months, or years, or whenever you feel comfortable. Cheer up though 
I'm sure the person you gave the fish to will know how to care for them.

I was born 5/9/71. I have been keeping fish for about the last 20 yrs or so and still have no clue as to what I'm doing. I think I've learned more in the last 4 yrs than all the other years combined thanks to fishy forums like this. Yet, there's still so much to learn. 
Born Aug.19/58. First had a ‘goldfish bowl’ 
of guppies when I was 10 &11. Set up my first tank when I was 16 and have had fish ever since. For a couple years after my son was born, the tank was awfully neglected.
