Betta 2.0

Another one of my bettas died. This one was also just over two-years-owned, so it probably was his time. He was alive yesterday morning, though, I noticed he wasn't eating. "Oh no," I thought, and by 3 a.m. when I went to bed, he was gone. This morning I flushed him down the toilet. :o( Normally I bury them in a box in the ground, but there just isn't any time these days... and stinky fish-rot water is not good.

Aw, bye bye, Fry.

Betta 1.0

One of my bettas died. I'm sad. :o( I'm even more sad that I'm not sure when he died. It could have been Sunday night or Monday day. If I wasn't so busy all of the dang time, I would have known "exactly" when it happened - not that it really matters in hindsight, I suppose.

I had Leela for just over two years last month. (I know, the betta I'm talking about was male, but his name was Leela - doesn't make sense, does it? Hey, Spunkster, remember how I named the two bettas Leela and Fry? < --- So that's why, folks.) He just started looking ratty lately - his fins mostly... and he lost his ability to swim easily... and it looked like he also lost his appetite. :o( Poor, old fishy.

Or maybe he died of a broken heart because he had no family.
