| sad, depressed, unworthy am i....... ok, before all the "I told you so's" start flying, I accept that it is my fault.
My sweet, beautiful Dante is no more. I came home from work to find him on the bottom of the tank. His fins were not ripped, did not appear nipped at. I do not know for sure if it was the blue gourami or the stress from the confrontation with the gold one a few days ago. All I know is that he is gone. Forever. and it is my fault, one way or another.
so say what you will, think what you will. just know that I am already despondent and blame myself completely.
now, instead of looking into the tank and seeing that beautiful, brilliant inferno of fins and scales, I see the possible killer of my baby.
goodbye, my sweet Dante. i won't forget you. |

| Re: sad, depressed, unworthy am i....... I just want to say thank you to everyone for your condolences. I'm sorry if I came across as hard and defensive. That's just me. I feel sad and guilty, so I put up a wall.
I truly enjoy being on this forum. The members here are full of good advice and big hearts. I know that we don't judge each other here, but strive to help make all our fish-experiences better.
Again, thank you all. The loss of a pet is tough, but with friends we can get through.

| Re: sad, depressed, unworthy am i....... I'm terribly sorry to hear about that. I understand how you feel; I felt very much as though I'd killed my betta Darth Pisces because I misdiagnosed his condition and then was too ignorant to know to take the filter out when I was giving him medication. I know you were very fond of him and I hope you can not blame yourself too much. |
