The little / loner Fire fish died today.
I'm not sure when. We found him when we went to feed them tonight. I took him out & saved him on a piece of toilet paper. Jake wants to bury him. It prompted lots more sadness and tears and Jacob saying he wished we got a freshwater tank because he thinks those fish are not as fragile :(
Poor little dude (my son, not the fish.)
I think he was OK by the time he went to bed. It definitely helped to have him see the fish dead in the water & approve me taking it out and them to examine it dead on the counter.
On a possibly related note - the top rock and some of the sand is very green. I just noticed this today too. I think it is probably not the cause of little "Fire's" death and is being caused by too much sunlight. I'll put towels up in his windows tomorrow to reduce the light until we get blinds. We need to talk to Randy and see what to do to fix it. Are we also supposed to have something rotting still in there? There isn't any salmon left.
We gotta keep on top of this. Aside from the monetary investment that we could lose, our son's little heart will break beyond repair!
