Gryffindor..Our beloved Chromis fish...purple and yellow...has PERISHED! 

Just discovered (ON my birthday)...his cause of death is unknown..However-there are some options..It is quite possible that Dumbledore (the clown fish) is involved in a conspiracy by luring me to feed them more then the advised 3! pellets because the late Gryffindor would speed about and eat all three..So I-feeling sorry for Dumbledore-would put in a COUPLE more pellets-hoping the clown fish would get one....All the while-Dumbledore was plotting the death of Gryffindor...this is perhaps an option--BUT the lil guy didn't look bloated or anything so I dunno ..We did fish him out though-well Adam did-and then we each said a few words-Bailey was a lil emotional as she was quite attached to this lil guy and she had no hand in his death (some recall she accidentally ate a Beta last year-I think she meant to put it back in its tank after I knocked it over but it was slippery and as she doesn't have dexterity in her hands..well..that was tragic too)..so anyways..we all said a few words and down the fish went..to the Keys hopefully.  All pipes lead to the ocean-least that's what they say in Finding Nemo.

So...tomorrow we might take a sample of the water to the ole aquarium shop to see if there's something wrong with the water. They do that (test it)...So I'll post any updates  Till then I'll just remember the good ole days--last week.  I picked the lil fella cuz he was a fast swimmer and had amazing streamlining capabilities...was hoping a lil observation would help my swimmin game BUT let's just hope this isn't a sign of this season's swimming

I thought this was a nice memorial art piece..it's called moonlit reids..by Joy Wade. He liked the plastic reids in our tank.

P.S. I should have named him Sirius Black
