Today my fish Ryo died. (Today being 4-26-2007). The earliest documentation I have of him is from 11-19-2004 and by that point I already had him for about a year. That means he lived about three to four years which is really good for a betta.To tell you the truth, he has been dying for a long time now. A while back he had stopped eating but managed to make it somehow. He was known to be the King Kong of Bettas because he was so large. It already feels really weird not having him next to my computer. I told my friend that I will never get another betta.
Originally I got my betta Warrior so that I would still have a connection to the breed even after loosing my precious Ryo but then Warrior passed away before Ryo. (Which is understandable since I bought him knowing he had a sever case of tail rot) So now I am betta-less but still have two lady rats so my love will be poured into them instead.Lots of people don't understand why people really mourn their dogs and cats much less me and my fish. I was even one of those people who thought fish were stupid pets until I got him. After spending a great deal of time watching him grow and have temper tantrums I feel like I got to know a friend so now I take the time to think of him.
