Oh, Fish #2

Our beloved Fish #2 passed away tonight. Ben was sick and in bed watching a DVD when I noticed Fish #2 floating near the top, listing to starboard, and taking occasional gulps. My oh so delicate wife was almost moved to tears.

Ben decided he didn't want to be in bed anymore and took over the den as his sick headquarters. So I took the opportunity to check on Fish #2. I found him resting against the pump intake, gently removed him, and took him for his last swim. Farewell Fish #2.

Fish #1 had passed away last week. I only know this from the pile of bones behind the fake coral that I found all of the snails on. Oh the horror.

Fish #1 and #2 are survived by Fish #'s 3, 4, and 5 and Baby Snails #'s 1-142.
