Fish Mental Health Check-In

This official-looking check-in asks some gentle questions about your fish's wellbeing. Please answer honestly, on behalf of your fish.

This is not therapy, a diagnosis or a mental health assessment, for fish or for people. Nothing you choose here is stored, saved or sent anywhere. It all stays on this page and disappears when you close it.

Fish appreciate regular small meals. So do people. Have you eaten something today? Even something small counts.

Fish rest a lot, often near the surface or on a leaf. Have you had a rest? Did you sleep okay last night?

Question 4 of 6 Has your fish seen some daylight? Yes Not sure Not really

Gentle light helps a fish keep its routine. Have you been outside, or near a window, today?

Question 5 of 6 Has your fish flared at anything this week? Yes Not sure Not really

Fish flare when something bothers them. Has anything been bothering you lately? It is okay if the answer is yes.

Question 6 of 6 Does your fish have someone checking on it? Yes Not sure Not really

Your fish has you. Who checks on you? Is there someone you could message today, just to say hello?
