RIP "Oscar".

"Oscar" was my Oscar fish who I never really named. I've had him for about 12 years; he's made it through 4 moves and a lot of neglect. But I guess I did something right...he lived a pretty long time.

My 5 year old helped me bury him. We each gave a little eulogy, and he cried a bit. It didn't help that he had been reviewing pictures of his deceased grandmother this morning 🙁.
 
Sorry to hear about your loss. Pets are a big part of our lives. I've had lots of very close pets die and it's rough - you can grow really close to them.

Speaking of fish, btw, last week I had a wonderful piece of salmon marinated in a dressing of my own creation. It made a better weekend for my whole apartment.

Yum.
 
He was about 8 inches long. It's only a 55 gallon tank so I think that stunted his growth. The pleco is probably soon to go - he's been around actually a bit longer than the Oscar. He's over a foot long.
 
Sorry to hear that.

I lost my pet fish "Thurgood" the week I graduated from law school. I got him during the first semester of law school (hence his name).

I accidentally killed him with my home dry cleaaning solution, which I mistook for water purification fluid. That must have stung a little bit.
 
now dig it back up and feed it to your kid for dinner. it is the way oscar would have wanted it. Ohh and be sure to let your kid know after he eats the entire thing
 
I have 3 red oscars and 2 large plecos. Those oscars are great fish. They are active and they watch you walk around your room, hoping they'll get fed.
 
Heh - I really was not attached to the fish. As fish go, he was a good one, but yeah, it was just a fish.

As stated before, we eulogized him for the sake of my son. He had a rough time already because my mom died just over a year ago and he had seen some of our wedding pictures with her in them this morning. So he was sad already; then the fish died and that made it worse.
