My fish just died..........
Discussion
......and I'm absolutely gutted. I'm 37 years old and its a bloody fish and I'm gutted.
He was a big old black moorfish, had him about 5 years but I don't think he was in his first flush of youth when I got him.
Started bottom sitting a week ago, did everything my local fish place told me to, thought he'd gone last Thursday but he perked back up again almost back to normal. Came home from work tonight and clearly he hadnt improved as much as it first appeared.
RIP Murray.
Bloody fish!

How does a grown man become so attached to a slimy black blob with boggly eyes.
My other half often asks the same... 
Sorry to hear about your fish. Has made me a bit emotional too. I had a couple of Giant Madagascan Hissing Cockroaches as pets once. I was gutted when the male, Bernard died. He was lovely. Bloody stupid Cockroach.

Nowt wrong with being upset by losing a fish. They may not greet you at the door, sit on your lap or follow you round the garden like a cat or dog but they still become part of the family. They have character and do the little things like nibble fingers or 'kiss' the glass that make them unique and not just a fish. Most fish owners I know spend more time feeding/cleaning/medicating/ balancing/talking to the fish than spend time with wives or girlfriends!
Sadly no pictures. Can't believe how down about it I am. He used to come to the top corner of his tank every day when I got in from work, yeah yeah I know he only wanted food but it was a BIT like being greeted by a loyal dog, just a very ugly, slimy, wet dog! Oh well, time to begin his journey to the other side in his McDonalds quarter pounder with cheese carton. He was a bit too big to flush, so I guess its wheelie bin for one to fishy heaven. Unless a bin dipping tramp finds him first.

Top tip: Cut him to pieces, then he'll flush easily 
(Had to do that with a 30cm long plecko)
