So sorry for your loss, fwlion. I'd hate to lose any of my guys now so I know you must really be going through it to lose such a pet after 8 years. She looked like a really beautiful fish.
very sorry for your loss!
trust me,we've all had our share of losses.
hell,we had to put down my 18YR OLD dog,older than me,this may cause she totally stopped eating and drinking one day and she was so weak she couldnt move.
my dog was freeze dried btw.
so its definitly more easy to freeze dry a fish,not any fish,YOUR FISH.
