crying Two days ago one of my tropical fish (A female Rasbora named Garraway) died that morning, of old age my mom says. I didn't cry, I refused to cry, since she was only around an inch long anyway (After dealing with six dead fish, one dead crawdad/crayfish, and two dead Border Collies (dogs, for those who don't know) I'm used to it). So the only ones left were Lady Amber, a female Albino Rainbow shark almost a year and a half old (or more); Brookflow, a male Rasbora bought along with Amber (meaning he's more than a year old); and Scout and Rosie, two female White Clouds who's ages I'm not sure of, but are at least half a year old each. Then, the next afternoon (yesturday), one of the White Clouds dissapeared. I beleive it was Rosie that disapeared, but I can only tell who's who when I compare them. This is a complete mystery, for my cat couldn't have goten it since I was in the room all day and Rosie was there that morning when I fed 'em. Amber couldn't have eaten her because she's an inch long and Amber's mouth is maybe a centemeter in diameter. Also, my first White Cloud (bought with Brookflow and Lady Amber) dissapeared in a similar manner while we were gone (visiting my gradnmother I beleive). So, I keep watch, but no sign of her as of yet, and our tank can only hold 10 gallons...
The only pick me up I've had is the archery tournament today. I managed to get 3rd place in my group. If I had goten five more points (one more hit or a bullseye instead of a hit) there would have been a three way tie for first. But I didn't, so my spot was 3rd. The ones who tied had a shoot-off (meaning a tie-breaker target/shoot) and the older of the two got ten points, and the other got five. I'm still happy though, since this is my second year in the archery club and I've only been shooting for two years or so, and last year I didn't place. But still.... I want my fish back....
Well, at least my mom said that when Amber, Scout, and Brookflow die (not soon I hope!) we'll get a whole school of colorful Guppies and I can name thim things like Tigertail, and the sorts, because the ones I saw had cool designs!
Oh, for those wondering, I don't hate fish that are contained, that are beautiful, and are my pets, and know I feed 'em, because they can't get out of the tank. xp

PS: I just remembered the name of the first White Cloud that dissapeared: Bluefin! I really am starting to wonder about those breed of fish............... neutral

Edit:
Here's two mermaid 'dolls' made in a dollmaker for my fish. The one on the right is Garraway and the one on the left is Rosie. I want to make headstones to, but that's not gonna happen. 'Member, no taking!



Edit2: Brookflow died shortly after I wrote this entry. All that's left is Amber and Scout. Poor them... Amber just keeps getting bigger and bigger! So it will probably be soon that I get my guppies.
Oh yeah, all the fish that have died are still in the freezer. ninja
