Obituary

Post by Tinman » Tue Apr 08, 2008 10:43 pm

My Avatar has died. :cry: :cry: I am very sad. :cry: :cry: I have not seen this ball of fire for a week or so and spotted a 4 " skeleton on the floor of my tank tonight. I have removed it and hold some hope but I know my favorite fish has passed to the toilet in the sky. I will keep him as my avatar so he may live on. I think he was about 10 years or so,the last of a group of five I found moments after they arrived at the LFS .I bought the whole bag as it floated just removed from the foam box an hour off of the plane......
:cry: :cry: I am very sad :cry: :cry: . I was attached to this one more than most.We had the same personality :cry:

I'm sorry to hear this. 10 great years you gave to your fellow fish. I'm sure he's thankful for all you've done.

Sorry to hear that Tinman.
Is ten years a good age? Sounds like he had a long life to me. Still a sad moment to have to say goodbye thought.
