This is my 14" RTC x TSN. he was born with a crooked spine like you see in the picture. I'm not completely sure how he died but he was swimming upside down when i got back from my vacation yesterday and he was dead when i woke up..

I understand what you guys are tryin to do here, but I don't see how anyone can bear to take pictures of their dead pets.
The way I see it; we should remember them in life, not in death.

Got home tonight and found him laying on the floor. He was pretty dry, stuck to the floor and all the water had dried up, so I'm guessing he was out for awhile.
As I was trying to get him off the floor, he gasped, so I put him back in the tank. He had a bit of life for awhile, but now he's not doing too much. I think he's a goner.
What really stinks, his pond is pretty much done and he would have been moving into it in a week or so.
