he was a lover, not a fighter

Post by side19 »

i'm sorry to inform you all romeo has died. juliet got a hold of him while i was in class and ripped his tummy open. he was stuck to the filter when i got back. i have no idea why she turned so hostile to him. they used to be fine together, to the point they slept together, but over the past month or two she's turned into a terror to him. at least now he doesn't have to watch his back every day. i hope he's happy now in the river beyond. RIP Romeo

Wow. That's awful. I'm so sorry.
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

What a horrible way for poor Romeo to go. It's not the first time though that I've heard of pairs of puffers that had been living together to have an incident like that. One of them decides, for whatever reason, to kill the other one. A sad part of life. :?

Very sorry for your loss. :(

38 gallon: 1 Figure 8 puffer, 1 Dragon Goby, 1 Knight Goby, 3 Black Mollies
30 gallon: 1 Blue Acara, 1 Bristlenose Pleco

Sorry for the loss! I'll hoist a Mt Dew in his honor tonight! (Don't drink alcohol so Dew is the best I can do)
