Mom reveals daughter's fish tank completely froze due to brutal winter storm in Texas - Charlotte's News Talk Radio Station

Over the last few days, Texans have endured drastic winter weather.

Due to the freezing temperatures, the state of Texas is currently under a state of emergency.

Locals, who are mostly accustomed to warm weather, have been battling the extreme weather and sharing their experiences online.

Videos of pipes bursting in homes due to historic power outages and plummeting water pressure have made their way onto TikTok.

One woman in Amarillo, Texas took it a step further when she revealed what the weather did to her daughter's fish tank.

Reni King explained to Buzzfeed that her family, like many others living in the Lone Star state, were not equipped for the wintry mix.

Their home is also not built to endure a cold snap, which meant that they had to take shelter at a hotel for a few nights with their infant daughter.

"Ever since Sunday the cold has not let up, and the snow keeps coming down," the 25-year-old explained.

Her pets mostly stayed in the heated rooms, but the fishtank was located in her daughter's room, which was not heated.

When the family returned home, she found the whole tank had frozen over.

The pet molly fish was somewhere inside the block of ice.

"I was very much surprised. I never knew that that could really happen," she told the outlet.

She posted the video on TikTok with the caption: "This is what it's like living in Texas right now."

'Look at my daughter's fish tank,' she said in the clip, adding, 'Oh my gosh...Yeah, that fish is dead.'

The video has amassed over 23 million views.

While she suspected the molly fish did not survive, many on TikTok told her not to lose hope just yet.

"But he looks very much dead to us," she noted after warming up the room.

According to Petfishonline.com, mollies can survive in cold water, but since they are tropical fish, low temperatures can be detrimental and they need warm water to thrive.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles.
