Ok no biggie....but I'm an animal freak so bare with me lol.
Our Angel Fish died this morning. :/
The thing had been atleast in my dh's care for atleast 5yrs!!
What is that, like 100 in fish years? lol
I mean it had endured too small tanks, too dirty tanks, weeks where he forgot to feed it or we were on vacation, months where the light was broke.....etc.
It outlived 2 other Angel fish, 2 catfish, 100 snails, and ate quite a few others.
We called it "Bully" cuz it bulied everyone in the tank.
It was a rare shiny yellow Angel fish which meant if you put a fish in that was shiny or colorfull it'd eat it/attack it.
But it bullied any thing around. Even the ugly catfish.
Well....it began floating near the top last night and turning duller and pinkish.
Gosh we were like "OH no it's dying what do we do!!"
I mean we threw food in, poured more water in, tried to clean the water with him in it, *sigh* we tried everything.
He'd flip over for a bit but then start floating belly up again with only one fin twitching.
Ugh.
And sure enough by this morning.....he was dead.
We're hoping it was from old age.
We had just bought a new catfish from the pet store last week and was hopin that fish didn't kill off our so durable Angel Fish with some virus or somethin.
All the other fish are fine tho.
Well the Smestad fish tank won't be the same without him. :cry
Any suggestions on fish we can buy and throw in there with one catfish, and 4 other breeds of catfish-all small mind you-and snails???
The tank just seems empty w/out that big shiny thing swimming around nippin at everyone lol.
