what a gorgeous fish he was..what happened? How did he get out? I am sorry for your loss of this beautiful fish..no wonder you wanted to keep him for the long haul..they are suppose to be able to be out the water a long time... that is really a shame you did not find him earlier.
Well I don't think I am going to get another one...It is sad I know but the only way I will get another one is when I know for sure I have a nice big indoor pond for him. He had an outdoor pond that I was going to put him in this spring but he never made it to spring obviously . But for now I think I am going to keep this monster on hold... Thanks guys.
