Goodbye old friend.

I killed her, I didn't mean to do it, but it happened. All I was trying to do was make my tank look nicer and I killed her.

Today whilst moving things around in my fish tank I stressed out the sick fish too much which resulted in death. All I was trying to do was place a mirror in the tank as I was attempting to remove the rocks and things i have collected from my adventures so into the tank they all went.

After this is separated it from the others into another tank because it had started swimming upside down, and I knew that it would not live. Then I had to rush off to work.

When I got home from work my father informed me that he had "put her out of her misery" and flushed her. I was really attached to this fish as it was from the first lot I purchased over two years ago.

In life it was always a he, but after I saw it dying I decided that she must have been a she, so delicate and sad. That's most likely sexist.

And the mirror which is now in the tank has attracted my lemon tetra's attention, who is guarding it from the other fish because he thinks they have a friend in it, so now I'll have to get another fish because he all alone.
