Death of Kitty
So I got the aquarium so that I could watch the fish and relax, right? Well apparently, it’s not working out as I thought it would.
Kitty died. After taking down notes from my Filipino readings, I went to check on the fish. I saw Kitty lying at the side of the aquarium. I thought it was just sleeping, but when I rapped at the glass several times and it didn’t move, I knew something was wrong. I then poked at it with a stick and to my horror, it just kind of moved and plopped down on the rocks. 
Okay, I know it’s just a fish, and it’s only been with me for one freaking day, but I haven’t felt this kind of loss since I was a kid. I just can’t believe it’s dead. After using a plastic spoon to get it out of the aquarium, I held a funeral for Kitty. I put it in a small box and buried it somewhere in front of the house.
Something tells me that by the end of the week, I’ll only have two fish left. Shere Khan and Confucious are picking on Tutankhamen now. And it sucks because Tutankhamen is the prettiest fish in my aquarium. I know it’s useless to scream, “hey stop!” everytime they gang up on it, but still. Now I don’t want to look at the aquarium because all I see are the two fish biting at poor Tut and I don’t want to watch its slow demise. Looks like I’ll be planning another funeral and making another trip to the pet store this weekend. *sigh*
I’m starting to love pet fish. My sister and I got my dad a Crown Tail, which is a type of Thai fighter fish, and it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Its fins look more like feathers than fins and its colors are so vibrant. What I love about it is that no two fish look exactly like the other; one had this beautiful deep blue, another looked like a phoenix. And apparently my dad is no stranger to fighter fish because his roommate in college owned one and he used it to compete with other fighter fish. Maybe I’ll just get one if all my fish die.

Aww, I’m sorry about the fish, Lauren! I know how, even after just a couple of days, someone can get attached to a fish! I had four fish die on me last summer, and I miss them so.
