Kind Of An Odd, And Morbid Question

[Genie]

how come, when your beloved fish die, its always at night. or when you're at work. Never when you're at home and can maybes help them in their last stages of illness or whatever.

If its just me this has happened to, then apologies...just seems like something that always happens!

the most peaceful time for a fish is at night time or when there is less traffic walking past the tank, any creature on this earth will naturally find and quite and sometimes dark place to spend its finally moments, its a combination of this and also, when they dont feel well they feel vunerable so when its dark they feel much safer.
so dont think its just you

If they die from natural causes, you may never be there at that moment. I agree with everything modaz said.

I just lost one of my male bettas but he looked really pale the night before he died. I knew something was wrong but didn't know what so, I sat with him, held him in my hand right below the water surface to make it easier for him to breathe.... told him how much I loved him and how handsome he was.... how all the girls fought over him.... you know, the usual. I stayed with him a long time. And he died that night when I was in bed. The loss was easier knowing I'd had that special time with him. But, I know that I was really one of the lucky ones to have that time.
