While on my trip in Nicaragua, something must have happened in my tank, because when I got back, our house-sitter said a cory died, and I can't find Swimmy, my sunset wag platy, the one on my avatar.
It stinks a lot, because it was my first baby, and only surviving non-tuxedo platy...
My apple snail also died a week before..

Here's to all the fish (and snail) that have died recently...

PS Here's some pics. The first one of Swimmy is as a baby, and the other one is from just a few weeks ago..

I'm really sorry about your loss. Swimmy was a cute lilttle fella.

Fish Addict

Yeah, its just some fish you think will always be there...
He was still a baby, I was waiting to see him when he got bigger...

Aww... I am soo sorry you lost little Swimmy! I love platies and when my first surviving baby (who was also a platy, a sunset platy) died I felt terrible.

Sorry for your loss

Sorry about swimmy. One of my Platys had fry last night but only managed to save one. He's in a breeding net. I've called him Swimmy in honour of yours!

Fish Addict

Aw, thanks everyone!

Yeah, we named him swimmy because he and another fry who was born a few weeks after him were released from the breeding box, and Swimmy swam right away to a good hiding spot, while the other fish just swam around at the top where all the big fish were.. Luckily, both survived and now the other one is called Dummy..
