What Happened To My Fishies Video 

“I made a mistake. And it was my fault.” No tears, no deep breathing or long pauses, just owning up to something like an adult. I still watch this because it’s relieving to know people like Jenna exist.

Jenna (Then): I can't have plants, they'll die Jenna (Now): *showing off her 27th plant* "...AND THIS IS MISS KEISHA"

The highest level of reincarnation:being one of Jenna marbles’s pets

things i learned: - no circle tank - real plants - fish breed research - jenna is best at fixing her mistakes - fish cycles - pet store employees probably ain’t shit (not always) - jenna community is probably best community

Other RU-vidrs get exposed for racism, being homophobic, and horrible things and then spill out a apology that’s not genuine to save their numbers. Jenna the most beautiful genuine human being on RU-vid apologizes for not being fully informed about fishes. *NOTHING BUT RESPECT FOR MY PRESIDENT*

Logan Paul: 2 min video after recording a dead body Laura Lee: 5 min video after past racial tweets Jenna: 47 min video on fish. Jenna Marbles is amazing...

“i can’t have plants they’ll all die” *uploads plant tour two years later*

She made a better effort to apologize about A FISH TANK. While other youtubers have said racist things and make themselves a victim.

so many youtubers make apology videos for cheating, doing terrible things, comitting crimes, doing drugs.. whatever else.. You make an apology video for your fish.. honestly I feel like you're the only sane person on this platform.. thank you for being precious and inspiring.

Laura Lee: Not even a 5-minute apology video for tweeting horribly racist things Jenna Marbles: 47 minute apology video for buying the wrong fish tank ...

they were so excited for their fish.. I'm sad they were misinformed and never tried again

Girl, as a hobbyist fish keeper of goldfish, you are NOT the first one to do this. People at pet shops generally aren’t very well knowledgable about fish. So they will recommend tanks that actually aren’t suitable, so honestly don’t worry about it everyone’s made the mistake at first, but some fish will die before you can finish researching & rectify it. If you wanna try keep fish again, I’d recommend cold water fish, they are hardier & generally easier for beginners ^_^

i'm worried that she may not even go to her basketball game tomorrow after this experience

Damn Jenna!! If i woulda known you were getting a fish tank, i would flew down and helped you set it up! The aquarium hobby is SO overwhelming at first. You really didn't do anything out of the normal for a new hobbyist at all. BUT you are popular. People are going to flock to you for the chance to correct you. Id rather embrace new hobbyists and guide them along. I buy random fish ALL THE TIME. Cant help it. So i get it completely. The aquarium hobby welcomes you though! Sorry it wasn't a warm welcoming. Sorry they ruined the excitment for you. Now... lets get you a full building of fish tanks shall we? haha. Tell Julian i said hey. Joey

Jenna' apology about her fish is more genuine than David Dobrik's apology about RAPE.

hard to tell this is an apology vid.. no ukulele in sight

Laura Lee: *cries fake tears and just screeches over horrible racist comments for less than five minutes* Jenna: *almost 50 minutes of serious talk over a fish*

Not only did this QUEEN make a 47 minute long apology about fish but she made a 47 minute long apology about fish with NO ADS. What AN AMAZING HUMAN. I kinda wish there was ads just to watch them all the way through for her haha.

Jenna expressed more remorse over a single fish than Colleen ever did for every child she groomed and every animal she murdered or abused.

In the future, when bunny is trained and adjusted to her environment, I would really love to see Jenna get some fishies.

Such an emotionally intelligent human being. Jenna is a role model for me indefinitely, and I'm proud of the life lessons that she's helped me learn. She has absolutely no victim complex attached to her wrongdoings, no chip on her shoulder, and is quick to make an example of herself if it means her mistakes may not be repeated by anyone she influences. A female hero of mine for sure. Not because she's a perfect person, but because her desire to be humane surpasses her desire for self-preservation.

Laura Lee: 4 minutes of bs Logan Paul: 2 minutes of bs Jenna Marbles: 47 Minutes about not buying the right fish tank.

2017 jenna: I cant have plants! They'll all die! 2019 jenna: *has an actual garden in her house*

I wish my mom cared about me as much as you care about these fish I'm actually like about to cry

This might be the perfect apology video. No manipulative music, no dancing around the subject, no sigh in the beginning of the video, no "I didn't wanna make this video". You said "I made a mistake" and you fully explained what happened, and the aftermath.

Jenna : gets straight to the point and doesn’t make herself the victim Laura : keep wiping face every 2 second and doesn’t get to the point We stan a mature queen

I work at a pet store, and im in charge of all the animals there and the fish tanks. I try my absolute hardest to give the best advice i can from what ive learned through my own research. Im going to school for zoology/animal education, so I really do care about giving people the best advice that I can! I always try to encourage people to go home and do their own research as well. But, sadly most of my co workers know NOTHING about the animals and just give random advice, however its not really their fault. Pet stores dont do anything to train their employees and teach them about the animals their selling/caring for. There's also a lot of ignorant people , who i will give advice to and tell them for example do not buy a tiny plastic fish bowl for their fish, it will die, and they don't listen/care because "its just a fish". The main reason i even still work at a pet store is to hopefully provide decent care to the animals we sell. and provide as best advice as i can to people buying animals, so those animals dont suffer.

Five years passed and this is still better then almost any youtube apology i've seen.

This is legit so respectful and grown up of you Jenna. Many, MANY, adults don't know how to own up to mistakes, and you are an amazing role model. You are an incredible pet mommy, RU-vidr, girlfriend, and human being. You are amazing. PLEASE believe this.

I love how emotional she's getting over the fish, it really shows how big of a heart she has❤️

Anyone else here the day she released her message video? It makes me sad that such a mature and caring person is going to stop uploading the uplifting and fun content she's been making in recent years. I hope she finds some good vibes away from RU-vid.

youtube: oUR ALGORITHMS ARE TRUSTWORTHY AND DEVELOPED AND ADVANCED also youtube: *puts the category of this video as comedy*

This is better than Laura lee’s apology video. queen

i have never owned a fish in my life and yet here i am watching a 47 minute video about the fish community

I don’t watch jenna’s Content, but she sounds like one of the most mature you tubers out there. She made a 47 minute apology video over somwthing as simple as a fish tank. Goes to show how caring she is

Bruh, she made a whole video about a fish.... SOMEONE PROTECT HER

this is one example of a true and a mature apology not like Logan Paul's 2 minute apology of a corpse and laura leech's 4 minute apology about body shaming and being a racist.

Jenna did a mistake. Jenna realized her mistake. Jenna uploaded a video explaining her mistake and helping people avoid doing the same mistake, while also helping to spread the correct way of having and getting fish. Be like Jenna.

I wish people cared as much as Jenna about fish. A family my mom was petsitting for had a betta in a small bowl, no filter, no lighting or heating, just a bowl of dirty water. The fish died while my mom was watching them, and the family said, “oh yeah they die all the time.” And then they got a new fish. If...if your fish die all the time... you’re doing sOMETHING WRONG...it makes me so mad 😡

Hi Jenna, I'm an avid fish keeper of seven years and I just wanted to thank you for they heart you have put behind caring for your animals and for these fish. I think it's horrible that the store would give you this information. That's not good ethics or a good way to run a fish business on their part. It can be hard to do research on these animals and get good information, but I hope this doesn't discourage you from trying again. These are truly wonderful and rewarding animals. I think it is brave and kind of you to point out your mistake in hopes of preventing others from making it. Your dedication and kindness is an inspiration. Best of luck.

Im honestly just watching this to remember what a real apology looks like because i just wasted 5 minutes watching laura lees apology lol

Laura Leech- films a 4 minute video about her racist past and fake cry’s. Jenna marbles- makes a 47 minute video about buying the wrong fish tank. We don’t deserve her 😂

I had fish as pets growing up. I cried and mourned each of their deaths, no one around me understood. I appreciate this video and it normalizing my intense emotions around my fish even though it's been years since I've had any. It made me feel supported and I am sending all my love.

i love how now jennas has become the exemplar of a mature and honest youtuber.

It was sad seeing how excited Jenna and Julien when getting the fish.. and then seeing Jenna apologize, she looked sincerely heartbroken 😕

How many of y’all looked up this fish apology after the whole laura lee bs.!?

She is literally the most unproblematic person her only scandal is that she didn’t properly look into how to take care of a fish I respect her so much

Felt this. As a child, I didn't have a great many pets as I am allergic to both cats and dogs. When I was 13 convinced my mother into letting me have a betta fish to care for on my own for at least 6 months to prove I was responsible enough for something else like a bird, rabbit, or hamster. I bought him and all of his equipment myself. I put him in one of those very high-tech Aquafarms that use the fish waste to fertilize plants. One day he got a swim bladder problem and I freaked out thinking he would die. We put him in salt water and it turned out he was just constipated. Not a big deal. However, before we decided to take him out of his hospital tank I decided to look from the top of the tank and check for anything. I noticed that his scales weren't looking as smooth as they were supposed to and I knew it was dropsy. Being 13, I couldn't do much but tell my mom about it. She overlooked it and said "He's fine you're just overreacting." and proceeded to not believe me until there was no hope of saving him. I was crushed. I couldn't even look at him for the last few days without crying. I had to ask my mom to check him for me the night before he died and she told me he looked like he was struggling to breathe. I came home from school the next day to have my mom tell me he died in the middle of the night (10 days after the 6th-month mark.) I cried many times that day and buried him in our backyard. I knew he wasn't going to live very long, but it tore me up to know he was suffering and I did something wrong to let him get sick. RIP Marty.

I know people are laughing about fish community and the fact that it's 'just a fish', but i think you're doing so great at trying to do your best for them. Fish are so surprisingly hard to take care of and it's so hard to be informed about it. I'm sorry so many people gave you such a hard time. You are wonderful, it's so hard for so many people to have an immediate opinion of anything you do. Take care of yourself and I love how much you care for your animals

Please get fish again. They deserve to be with someone who cares about them so much.

I live in southern Louisiana and we have fairs that give away baby iguanas as prizes with no care instructions. It drives me insane.

At least she didn't pull out the ukelele

This girl cares more about her fish than some parents and their own offspring!

I hate that Jenna was just so excited for fish and it turned into this. Jenna needs a hug. 🤗

I used to keep betta fish in tiny little bowls without even heat or filtration. Now I don’t keep betta fish in anything less than ten gallons with a heater and filter. This hobby is about learning. You are doing great trust me. We can all tell how much you care about those wonderful little fish.

This is why I love Jenna. She genuinely feels bad about the fish & loves animals. We don’t deserve her. #Weloveyoujenna

Jenna, you 100% did the right thing. I volunteer at an animal rescue association and I gotta say, I wish more people had your mindset about their pets. Kudos to you and I hope the fish lives a long happy life

I can’t believe people are hating on you for this. You thought you were doing the best you could do. You’re such a pure, kind hearted person.

You made a forty seven minute video apologising for getting the wrong tank, you are honestly the most wholesome, genuine person I have ever seen i love you

Even a Vet wouldn't make 47 minute video about making mistake on fish Jenna is real angel! She even explained everything about fish so thoroughly. I honestly learn more about this world from her video than the experts in certain field.

This is why we stan Edit:lordy thanks for the likes

some youtubers take weeks to make half assed apologies for actual fucked up shit and jenna made a genuine 30 min apology for fish ...pls protect her at all cost

Jenna's Mom must be so proud of her.

Why does this video pop up on my recommended every time a beauty guru's apology comes out?!

Jenna makes a 47 minute apology video about buying the wrong tank for her fish, Logan Paul makes a 1 minute "apology" video about recording and laughing at a dead guy and posting it on RU-vid. Everyone should be more like Jenna

the dog analogy gave me chills, never really thought about it that way. jenna really has a good heart.

I love Jenna for making this apology, but I just feel like the fish would have been better in her hands instead of the store it came from :( I mean even the employees have no clue about what it takes to take care of the fish....

The kindest soul - I can't believe yall bullied her all the way off the internet. I hope she's the happiest 37 year old lady. WE MISS YOU JENNA!! But we'll see you at the basketball game tomorrow

It's really heartwarming that you feel so much for the fish and genuinely are sorry. We need more people like you in this world.

This beautiful soul of a human being.. she lost two days being miserable and crying over *potential* physical and psychological harm that she and the fish store person might have caused to *FISH*. Arguably the smallest of the small of us. I just don't think I've ever known a better, more loving soul. She makes my heart hurt from the love she has for everything and everyone.

So I watched this whole thing and I think the thing that breaks my heart the most is just seeing how excited Jenna was at the store to get her new fishies. Jenna I think of you every day and thank you for this wholesome corner of the internet.

I hope she tries getting fish again during her break. The fishies made her so happy and I think she could make a great fish mom.

Oh bless her, she's so invested in animals and it was an honest mistake, I'm glad nobody really ripped her apart for it. She's such a good person.

Jenna is so humble & sweet omg I love her so much

I get the "bad fish employee" thing. When I was little and got my first fish, the guy told us that a fish bowl without filtration was suitable for not one but Two betta fish. Anyone with fish knowledge know that bettas are aggressive fish and they should never be kept together... Obviously it didn't take long before the male bit the female to death.. Child me was very sad and disturbed

I’m sorry but an apology about a fish without crying and blaming the victim and owning up to their actions for an entire forty seven minutes is basically the best apology video I’ve ever seen

what a beautiful human being. jenna is so wonderful and pure.

I know Jenna feels like she should have done more research, but I think she did enough and just trusted the wrong guy. Jenna is a really good owner. She clearly cares about her pets, and has proven this many times over throughout the years. It isn't unreasonable to assume that a pet store which specializes in fish has employees which are informed about fish. And even if they are not, you would assume they would tell you that.

See, James Charles and Laura Leeirreverent.. this is how you make an apology video. You don’t play victim, you explain the situation, and you learn and move forward. You don’t try your hardest to push tears out and take long pauses. I love that Jenna Marbles, the unproblematic queen of RU-vid, has set the standard for everyone else.

This reminds me of myself when I got two fair fish and realized the tiny ass 1 gal tank was not enough. They got sick and started losing scales. I cried because I felt like I was basically murdering these innocent beings. I feel you Jenna. I realized my mistakes and got a bigger tank. They are a year old now! Next problem is... are they going to multiply ;-;

Don't beat yourself up, Jenna. You are the *MOST* genuinely caring person probably on this whole planet. We know you didn't mean any harm with anything you did or bought. Please don't let this ruin anything for you.

It's not your fault the fishstore sold you a bowl ... you did the best you could and I can see you're really putting your heart into it

I miss jenna so much, I respect her decision, I hope she comes back, but shes the only youtuber I know that would make a video 30 minutes long about a fish, she had for two days.

I miss you a lot, Jenna. Thank you for allowing us to see you grow as a person, thank you for letting us be there with you when you did. You’re a genuinely good person and I view you as one of my role models ❤️

As someone who has never owned fish or know anything about fish, I would have done the exact same thing. It’s an honest mistake and it is okay, know you know what to do and what not to do. Life is a learning experience and it’s okay as long as you try to fix and improve it (which by this video is very clear that you really do care and are trying).

You are just a good human.

This the purest thing I’ve ever seen. She is apologizing for not having correct info on a fish.

i came here after the james charles - tati drama and im learning so much about fish and fish tanks right now

🐠 *Jenna- loved the video but regardless, I want to thank you for your unconditional compassion, search for growth, and willingness to learn. Thank you for continuing to not only make us laugh on the internet, but share your struggles and successes openly in hopes of benefiting, and promoting growth to the lives of others. Your honesty, vulnerability, content and compassion is truly appreciated.* 🦋

Jenna has the biggest heart ever! And, Ive had fish all my life and know a pretty good amount about having a fresh water tank and I STILL learned something from this so good for you for making this video!! Hopefully you will get a tank and get some fish... name one DINK! :)

I had the same experience when I bought my leopard gecko. The woman at the pet store told me that the substrate he needed was sand because they live in the desert. But that was totally wrong. Turns out sand would kill my gecko because it's highly likely he would get impaction and his digestive tract would explode. I have since learned that there was so many things they neglected to tell me about his care, so many things that if I hadn't done my own research he would've died within two weeks. Pet stores are terribly run in relation to the care and well being of animals.

THIS BEAUTIFUL, HUMBLE, AND HONEST BEAN MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS. THIS IS NOT A JOKE THE BEAN BABY IS THE MOST PRECIOUS THING IN THIS WORLD. You rock Jenna, definitely without a doubt the most mature and amazing RU-vidr on the planet.

I think what breaks my heart the most is that this store has sent so many fishes to their death by misinformation just to make money.

I'm from the fish community, and ur fine jenna, all of us have mistakes, and the way u owned up to it was awesome. We all learn from our mistakes.

You're so emotionally intelligent and empathetic and just a wonderful role model. Thank you for helping to show people how animals deserve to be careful for.

I know you’ll probably never read this Jenna, but I wanted to share that watching your video made me educate myself about proper fish care and help my sister get the right environment when she decided to get fish for my nieces and nephews. I went along with them to the pet store and the sales person recommended a small glass bowl and plastic plants, but we bought the right supplies because of what I learned from watching your video. Ps. Your compassion, humility, and kindness have always inspired me to be a more conscientious, better person. ❤️

Jenna is the most genuine, kind human on the planet. Clearly she only had the best of intentions. Love you forever Jenna

This was literally recommended after watching Laura Lee's 5 min apology video....RU-vid knows what they're doing.

Year and a half later I'm still waiting for Jenna's aquarium :'(

"I cant have plants. They'll all die" Cut to Jenna now with her jungle in her house
