When you think about pets, the first sets of animals that come to mind are dogs and cats. But then there are different animals that people use as pets, and fish is one of them.

There are pet parents who love their little furry ones so much that they care for them to the fullest. On the other hand, there are pet parents who are so clumsy and who don’t give a damn about their pets.
The teacher in today’s story is among the latter, and she got a shocker for her actions. I’ll save you all the suspense and get right into the story, which was posted to the AITA subreddit community by a student who is also a Redditor.
The OP gave a brief introduction by saying that the family owns a small fishing company. And here it is...
"My uncle does charter fishing while my dad and grandparents do commercial fishing, and my mom is a marine biologist. We also have fish tanks at home, so I grew up around this and I know a lot about fish," says the op.
But then the OP’s teacher had a nasty aquarium with fish that she hardly took care of. Many times, the OP offered to help the teacher care for the fish, but she refused.
So the OP decided to take things personally and "save the fishes". Want to know how?
