all dead
The fish with a colorful tail died. Yesterday I finally found his body, or half a body.
He looked sick a couple of days before. I noticed his tail became badly trimmed and shrank a bit.
His fins were kind of untidy, and he was oddly quiet, hiding on the corner where the bottom feeder is. This last 2 days. Then I couldn’t find him no more. And then yesterday finally I saw his whitened body floating between stones.
Don’t know what went wrong. This is not the way I pictured him dead. I’ve always thot he would die a stuffed fish, not a sick fish. He was such an incredible eater.
But I am not sad, although as I am writing I feel a tad pity for him. But fish are generally stupid animal to keep. Like birds.
The only one recognizable left in the tank now, is what I call the “zebra fish”. Let’s see when and how he dies.
My plant that had a “flower” recently is dying too. First I thot it is dying because it just gave flowers. Sort of like a cycle. But later I found out that Gordo has been giving it water. I give it water, thinking I am the only one keeping it alive. And the cleaner and Gordo do the same way too–the poor plant is practically floating on water! No wonder its leaves are turning soft and yellow.
