Vallisneria Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 I went and checked my tank tonight and noticed that my angelfish had died. She was the first fish I bought when i started getting interested in aquariums. I had her for 7 1/2 years. Lately she had started to slow down and looked a bit "old". She had stopped eating a few weeks ago, so i knew she didn't have much time left. Its just sad since i've had her for so long and she was my favorite :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melody Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 I'm sorry to hear that Valerie. She must have been very happy in your care and you should be proud of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallisneria Posted September 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Thanks guys I gave her a little burial in the garden. I couldn't just throw her in the garbage. I guess now i'll have to think about redoing my 58g planted, as she was the center piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinless Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 seven and a half years is a very good run. especially given it was an original pickup that was purchased with little experience. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallisneria Posted September 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 especially given it was an original pickup that was purchased with little experience Espeically since I got it from superpet using a "2$ angelfish" coupon and it was the only one that wasn't dead in the tank :thumbs: I knew she had super strenght from day one.

Earthgirl Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 I am soooooo sorry to hear about that... I lost my black lace veil about 3 weeks ago...... He was only with me for about 3yrs, I couldn't imagine 7.5 yrs. If you want you are welcome to the three I have they are mixed though.... I know it won't replace the lost one, but if you want..... Just Pm if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
