"Gorgeous George" my faithful and beautiful fish committed suicide today. I guess I am to blame. I freshen and change his water often, and....

this time I think I left the level too close to the rim of his habitat. He has been with me a year and a half, and I it kind of feels like a death in the family. I guess it was. I wanted to make light of it, but I feel pretty damn low over the whole affair. "Gorgeous George" was a fixture in my life that is no more. He was like a lively purple flower that moved around in a large decorative container of water and ate blood worms. He was responsive to the net and the food and it is a sad day for the idiot who filled the bowel too high. I've just never seen him do any jumping, and I thought an inch below the rim would be okay. I am surprised a bit by how sad I am.

Fish are fragile creatures..i heard a story where a guy put his wrist watch on top of the aquarium during a party and all the fish died because their hearts picked up the rhythm of the ticking. I don’t know if it’s true though..im sorry for your loss

My daughter found one of hers the other day wedged between the filter and the edge of the tank. The water snails were eating her. She was devastated.
It's a typical response to lose ANYTHING you have loved. Just be satisfied you took good care of your little fish before he died!

@1GHOST I can't call him a "Beta" because it reminds me of my political adversaries.

I once had an 80 gallon high aquarium with gorgeous and beautiful and very fancy goldfish of different colors. I had 8 of them, but there was one little guy who would allow me to stroke him with my finger. I can understand your feelings.
