My beloved betta fighting fish, Shah Rukh, finally passed away yesterday after gracing us with his presence for 4 years (an eternity for a fish). I knew it was almost time...for the past few weeks he was lethargic in his bowl, refusing to eat much or swim around at all. Usually the moment one of us gets home, he would immediately go nuts and swim to the front of his bowl, almost like he was excited to see us. He'll be forever be known as the fish who won me $400 in my office March Madness pool a few years ago:-)
We gave him a decent funeral...I dumped him in the toilet, Zach flushed.
I gotta say...for a fish that survived being overfed by my brother-in-law (while we were on vacation), and being attacked by Zach, he was a trooper.
You were a good fishie, Shah Rukh:-)
