Woman goes viral after accidentally freezing her pet fish alive TikTok: santanaazaA woman has gone viral after documenting the tumultuous life of her fish after waking to find the bowl had completely frozen over. Fish are sensitive animals when it comes to changes in their water temperature, with just a few degrees sometimes meaning the difference between life and death. To survive cold winters, some species enter a state of \u201ctorpor\u201d \u2014 similar to a deep sleep or hibernation. But what about being frozen? One woman who woke to find her fish bowl had been completely frozen solid overnight has now gone viral on TikTok after sharing her pet fish\u2019s unexpected recovery\u2026 only for tragedy to strike. Going by \u2018santanaaza\u2019 on the social media platform, the first video in the series showcased how her fish, Greg, had frozen overnight in his bowl. Text overlay on the video read, \u201cYa\u2019ll I just woke up and my fish is frozen!?\u201d Despite her certainty that Greg had not survived the experience \u2014 the video\u2019s caption listing the fish\u2019s lifespan as 2022-2024 \u2014 Santanaaza revealed in a follow-up TikTok that Greg was back to swimming circles after the bowl had thawed. \u201cThey could never take Greg out,\u201d Santanaaza wrote, with viewers cheering on Greg\u2019s survival and joking that the fish was making \u201cvictory laps.\u201d However, Greg\u2019s win was short-lived. \u201cIt brings me great sadness to inform everyone that Greg has succumbed to his injuries this afternoon at around 4:23 PM. After repeatedly circling around his tank for over an hour he unfortunately could not keep pushing any longer,\u201d Santanaaza said in another update. \u201cHe was a warrior, but all warriors must fall.\u201d She went on to hold a funeral for Greg, putting together a DIY gravestone for the fish and lying some yellow flowers on his grave. For viewers invested in the fish fiasco, Santanaaza bought a new pet replacement \u2014 Fred \u2014 and this time around she\u2019s equipped with a heater and a bigger tank. Though not everyone was stoked to see Santanaaza continue to own fish; \u201cPlease stop buying fish. You\u2019re too irresponsible to take proper care of them. Horrible.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
