Just something quick I doodled up.

My beta fish, Jade Blooper, died yesterday morning after staying with me almost a year (which is the longest any of my crazy fish have lived to date). All of my beta fish have been male crowntails.

Blumiere (blue on the left) was beautiful colors, but he was always a sickly little thing, and spooked at everything. Jumped when I walked in the room, hid when I turned on music--but he was a real sweetie.

Merlon (white) was a lot stronger, and probably twice Blumiere's size. By human standards, I would call him adventurous. By fish standards, he'd be suicidal.

Jade (black on the right) wasn't so weak or silly. His fins were torn to shreds when I got him, but he had no signs of illness, so I think they'd been torn off in a fight. He acted like a warrior too--always fighting with his rocks--if not a tad paranoid.

I doubt he'll get along with these guys, but maybe they'll warm up to each other if they ever cross paths.

(and yes I name all my fish after Super Paper Mario characters)

Oh my goodness. I am so sorry. I had no idea.

Liv, you gave every single one of those beta fish a happy and wonderful home. With the way you obsessed over those fishies, lets just say, I didn't know fish even COULD be spoiled. Not to mention, unlike other owners, you've immortalized them in that insanely large heart of yours. :)

Jade was a good fish, and he lived a long fishie life. You helped him do that. :)

Screw you, you're gonna make me cry again! Seriously though, thanks for saying so--I know for fact I got on Jade's nerves, but I do hope he was happy here. I'm more upset over anything that he didn't get to come to Savannah with us. :( I was looking forward to having him there.

I'm sure he was! I mean, out of all the bratty children that go through pet stores, he could have just as easily been picked up by some jerk twelve year old who would have sat there shaking the bag. Instead, he got YOU. So yeah, I'm pretty sure he was happy. :)

And me too! I wanted the "three heartbeats and a fish" box checked. But, I guess you'll just have to bring a group picture of all your fishies that we can hang on the wall somewhere. ;)

I'm so sorry dear. I know how you feel, with the recent passing of our beloved dog followed by our cat a few weeks later, I know first hand how hard it is to lose a pet. I hope you're taking it well though, I didn't want to eat for days after our dog died.

Thanks, and don't worry, I'm sure I'm not the only one who's gone through this. ^^ I'm sorry about your losses--cats and dogs are always more personal pets. I guess we just can't dwell on death? You have to remember the time you had when they were still here. :)

Yeah; it gets better. The sadness only hits you every once and a while. Like when you accedently find one of your pet's favorite toys under a bush. But yeah, each day gets easier. :)
