Hey All,
I'm kinda bummed about my new blue fishy... I dropped off my little one at pre-school and when I returned I looked in the tank and didn't see the elec. blue. I was looking in all the hiding places and he was no-where to be found. I looked behind the tank and he was on the carpet dead :cry:
I don't know if it was a suicide or a murder. My 55 is now a crime scene!
I dunno id he was just stupid and decided to flip himself up throught the filter opening or if he was chased and flipped out. He liked to swim up in the filter sometimes, but I didn't think the opening was big enough for him to even get out of. There is no extra room in the back of the hood really, just the filter opening and the heater. I have covered the filter with a cloth as well as the heater to try and prevent future suicides. He was so beautiful 2... I got another elec blue, but he's not as big or bright as the former fish. Maybe when he grows a bit, He'll look similar.
Sniff Sniff,
~Melissa~
