I'm so sorry. Sushi was beautiful.

I'm very sorry as well. I have lost fish in the past. I did have a 50 gallon tank with a ton of beautiful fish and then all of a sudden the all got sick and died and so I sold all the parts and said, "I don't need this in my life" because it's so sad.

Take care and take comfort in the fact that you gave him a great life.

I had an aquarium in my room when I was younger. Until I was ten, my room was always a mess. (One day I just got much neater. ) Anyway, of all my fish, the algae eater was the one that kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger, and he lived for years. One day I noticed he was missing from the tank. I figured my dad had flushed him without telling me while I was at school, that being the kind of thing my dad would do. A few weeks later I was looking for something in the mess of papers on my floor, and under many of them was that huge, dried-up fish (6-plus inches or so, much bigger than any other algae eater I'd owned). He must have jumped out of the tank, lifting the lid on his own. Freaked the crap out of me.
I promise I'm not so messy any longer.

Wow, that's scary! I've never heard of one jumping out of the tank!

I used to have some bettas when I was a kid. My mom killed one of them by putting water that was too hot in the bowl. One of them had tons of babies, but apparently ate them or something, and one of the other fish too.

Sorry to hear about Sushi. He's in a better place now, with my Candy.
