Thank you all.
Spike and Sting were Dimensional's dear lionfish who passed about the first week in December.
Rocky, I had to help sleep yesterday because he had stopped eating and could not even really move much.
Perhaps a mistake, I held him in my hand while he went to sleep. I don't know how I could not have done that as I have been holding both of the fish in the water during water changes and they had become so tame.
But I had and continue to have this feeling that I murdered him.
WAIT!
I think that is why the professionals say to cover the fish while it goes to sleep from the clove oil and then add the vodka when fully asleep.
Our situation was such a mixed package because we played with them and they were/ are use to human contact. Maybe like dolphins.
Goldie (hhtn ) is still with us. Thankfully
We are thinking though about getting something "mommy" can really play with,... like a T-Rex.

Fish would be cooler if you could somehow engineer a reverse-scooba suit like in Futurama :)

That's what Goldie thought. Just up and left. We guess he wanted wheels too.

No, all in about ten minutes, he swam around funny and went head down and out dead. We didn't even get a chance to say good bye. Very strange.
Though I may sound dry, that is not the case here and I have a feeling in a blizzard we will be bringing more boys home tomorrow. Jerry knows we need kids in the house. We are a family kind of couple.
Thank you for noticing.
Because it's Christmas I didn't want to say our boy left on Christmas and make people sad.
We are sad but thankful we had them for so long.

We took them of both to the same place in the park and put them to rest. We are very sad.
It should not surprise me but it still is how much adults can get attached to these tiny creatures. They were not really "tank" fish but when we moved to a different room we would take them with us so that they would not get lonely. Perhaps we forgot they were fish. Though Goldie didn't act like one. At times I really thought he was Grandpa come back.

Thank you Evo and Lisab. We are dealing with our loss here like adults.
We have a storm coming so first we go to go get supplies and then to the store and grab the ones looking like they need to be rescued.
A lady on FB once said she was not smart enough to swim with the fish. I can't make it to hospice anymore. These little bettas are my teachers for the moment.
RIP Professors Rocky and Goldie.

Thank you HeLiXe. I was just laughing hard at OmCheeto's fish shtick. Oh so true.
When we realized Goldie was not coming back up, Hubby frantically dumped a whole lot of food in his little tank accidently. Thank goodness Goldie was elsewhere because that little fish would have eaten every pellet if it would kill him!

Fish schtick
For the record, the Fishmobile is not mine; I simply pointed to a known internet phenom.

My last fish tank was about two years ago--it was a 5 gallon. My sucker fish {I forget what it was...not a siamese or a plecos} got so huge I donated him back to the pet store for people with ponds. The tank was looking bare so I bought a few more neons which were on sale. I wish I would have kept them in another tank for a week or so because they introduced a fungus into my tank -_-. I lost all my fishies at once so I know how sad it is. *pc hugs*

HeLiXe, Did you take any pictures of your fish?
Fish keeping which we originally thought would be manageable price wise, is just like getting a good neighbor award.
Don't accept either or you will be broke in a month!

Would you like to share the picture of your Parakeet? That's a long time to have a pet.
Good for you.

Here she is, small pic but it's the only one I have of her. This picture was taken a month before she passed away. I don't like to cage birds tho, so I will never have a caged bird as a pet again. She was supposed to be a pet for someone else, but they did not want to take care of her. I was happy to take care of her, I really loved her <3

Oh, She is very pretty. She looks to be a real lady. And very modest.
I had Budggie birds, a few through the years. I mostly let the cage open when I knew the window would be closed. One only need clean a little more.
I think I was up to Scorpio 5, though they were not all called Scorpio. Most of them acted like one hence the name.
Did your bird talk? Did she sit on your finger. Mine use to like to sit on my head, so I had to start wearing the baseball cap around the house. lol

Thx Lacy :) Actually she did talk, she said hello and hi, prior to I had no idea budgies could talk. She never went on my finger, but she would let me hold her.
