I knew I should've removed him from your custody at my last monthly visit.

I almost called the Fish Protective Services Hotline.

I feel partially responsible.

Edited to add: I'm sorry you lost your fishie. Fluffy will be just fine.
 
awww...

i'm really sorry....<hugs> i was around when you were naming them....why are fish so suicidal..i had that happen to me once too....well..maybe now you can get a fish and name him "spike" that would go with "fluffy"
 
My aunt and uncle had cooleeloches (I spelled that phonetically - I don't know how it's actually spelt), which are these long skinny fish a few inches long - eel-like little things. My aunt was pregnant at the time, and a little...off balance.

Anyhow, one by one they began finding these fish in the morning dead, and halfway up the hall - a good 4-6 feet from the aquarium. How they got there, and why, is a mystery...but my aunt became obsessed with the idea that the fish were coming to get her in her sleep. They ended up not only giving the fish away, but the whole tank. She was a weird woman. The stories I could tell...
 
thanks draaah... makes me feel a little better...


and amelia.. i'm thinking if i get another fish i'm gonna name him Spot, or Monkey. but it is sad to see a fish dead on the table cuz he killed himself. i mean really, how bad could a fish's life really be? he doesnt have to feed himself or clean himself or deal with daily stress, except for maybe which way to swim around the bowl today.

and Ginny... i think you are the first person to make me laugh today.. and i mean really laugh

as soon as you get her another fish cock....<nodding>...or a lil fishy vibe...

hmmm....how about a blowfish? I hear they give good blowj....oh, forget it.
 
Aww. I'm sorry, Willing and Unsure. That sucks. :(
Ginny and Alexandraah are cracking me up! :D
 
Sorry for your loss

<Hugs> to you it is hard to loose a pet/friend. We have had 5 suicidal fish in the last year and it is really hard especially when my 3yr old is the one to find them. He says "put some new batteries in it mommy and make it all better" We just buy a new one and love it and make it part of the family. Good luck and take care. :heart:

There is NO way you can name a fish "monkey" without getting a "spank" too. Can't be done.

How dare you try and steal the spotlight on this most important day of Snowball's.

For shame, Ishmael, for shame.

i can name my fishies whatever i wanna name them... and i dont have to name one of them spank... i think having two and naming them Fluffy and Monkey would work well. then i've got a Fluffy Monkey in my room

and besides... my mom thinks i really wanted kittens instead of fish since i named them Fluffy and Snowball (man am i glad i didnt name them snake and kitty)

Sure, W&U, but just don't expect them to come to you right away if you name them the same name.

dont know yet... i stuck him in a different thing of water in hopes that maybe he hadnt been out of the bowl very long (i figured he had been since he wasnt moving and his eyes had that glazed over look). he's still sitting in that right now. i just dont have the balls to do it right now.

i'm just glad i at least found him. his colors blend in with the desk and i almost didnt see him. he landed on a silver cd.. and with his bottom side being silver, and top side being gold.. and the desk being the same color as his topside i really almost didnt find him. at least i knew to start looking when i noticed only one fish left in the bowl.

Yeah, just like my great, great, great grandmother used to tell me, "Alex, you're never completely alone if you've got a Fluffy."


Seriously, she said that.
