My Avatar has died. I am very sad. I have not seen this ball of fire for a week or so and spotted a 4 " skeleton on the floor of my tank tonight. I have removed it and hold some hope but I know my favorite fish has passed to the toilet in the sky. I will keep him as my avatar so he may live on. I think he was about 10 years or so,the last of a group of five I found moments after they arrived at the LFS .I bought the whole bag as it floated just removed from the foam box an hour off of the plane......
I am very sad . I was attached to this one more than most.We had the same personality

That's too bad.

So sorry to hear this, Tinman. I hope you keep him as your avatar.

Is ten years a good age? Sounds like he had a long life to me. Still a sad moment to have to say goodbye thought.
