So Long Fred, It's Been Good To Know You...
Requiem for Freddy
There are many fish but this one was mine. His only responsibility was to help me relax by swimming in his tank, something Freddy excelled at. He was a fish among fish as far as I was concerned and I will miss him. He never asked for a thing, rescued from a tiny glass, I gave him his first proper home. He had a nice castle, weeds to lurk in and two squares a day.
I couldn’t pick him up, couldn’t hug him by he was always there for me at the front of his tank, waving his fins, and ok sometimes doing his little Beta threat posture, but I am sure it was in jest. I will miss that crazy fish.

Sincerely,
fairsCaPe

FS: pretty broke up about sending him on "the last swim".
Poor Freddy. I'm sure he'll be shorely missed.

"Fish are People, too!"

Crap, I can’t sleep. Why don’t you come on over and I’ll make some tea.
I'm sorry for Fred. Am sure you'll keep him in your heart.
I loved a fish once. "Bubbles," he'd come to the top of the tank & make pop pop noises with his mouth when somone would walk by. first time I realized that A goldfish could acually have a personality.
Nice of you to acknowledge Fred. Little fishes deserve love.
I am so sorry to hear about Fred. I agree pets are people too. No matter how small they all have personalities.
Just think back at all the fond memories you guys made together.
Fred's in a far better place now Phos. No preadators where he's at, neither ichthyofauna nor homo sapien.
Thanks all. I guess with all the world's tragedies a fish doesn’t seem like much, but damn he was fun to watch.
They are good stress relievers phos.
Have you considered getting another one?
I know it's soon...but...?

Hi PG: Has it ever occurred to you that Fred may be missing you too.. no one paid him that kind of attention...:-)
All the Best!(this is for coping with the loss.. thats usually difficult.)
Jin: Coming soon - Freddy II: Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water…
Keshi: Welcome back! I will beright over!!
Becky: I was thinking piranha for my next fish, but Mrs. Phos won’t let me have one….
HDWK: Alas poor Freddy we knew you well… I am making a trip to the pet store tomorrow and this time I am getting Freddy II the submarine for his tank.
My condolences, PK. I, too, lost a bunch of fish... albeit they were my desktop wallpaper.
