[midnight-blue]

Hi all came home last night after getting back from kent to find my lovely midnight had died am heart broken and gutted.

 

[sausagewinkle]

Aww no thats terrible

 

[fuzzynicki]

So sorry for your loss

 

[midnight-blue]

Thanx just wish i know what happend.

 

[fuzzynicki]

The not knowing is the worst part. I've lost two ferrets in the past 8 weeks. One was only 10months old, but was found to have a huge tumour in his belly. The other we could find no reason for though. she just died in her sleep one night. I hate losing any of my animal family.

 

[midnight-blue]

im the same i think i have had him about 2 months its all very well someone saying it just an animal or fish as someone put it to me last night but its not its part of the family and is a friend.

 

[fuzzynicki]

I totally agree,- but most people I know just don't understand at all! I had a large sailfin pleco female that had been with me for 7yrs. I bought her as a deal on a fully equipped aquarium. She was tiny then! I found her dead in the tank one day and cried my eyes out! My family think I'm nuts!

 

[midnight-blue]

I dont think your nuts. But it is ture people just dont understand, it was my partner that said it to me. I had a little one strange it was in the same tank as midnight and that died 2 weeks ago today. my partner would not let me empty the tank last night so got to go home from work and do it tonight miss him so much did you name your pleco? my partner finds it strange i name my fish.

She was called Plexy. I have a young daughter, plus a disabled daughter who is also autistic. They play a big part in the naming of the fish! My longfin bn's are named after characters from the tv vampire programme "Angel". I recently bought a tardis aquatic ornament for my male betta's tank. We all love Dr Who! My betta spends a lot of time in his tardis so we have named him "The Doctor"! My 6 female bettas have subsequently been named: Rose, Martha, Donna, Sarah-Jane, Amy and Astrid. My new breeding pair that I won on e-bay last night are going to be called "The Master" and "Lucy" (who was the master's wife on Dr Who). There is method in my madness lol.

 

[midnight-blue]

There wicked names. I bet the fish help with your daughters i used to work with young adults with learning problems and who were disabled. Its good to get them involed. i have my other two males but its like people say none of them are the same. I dont think your mad lol.

Dear Midnight,I completely understand what you are going through. My little friend died on the 16-th of February and I keep on crying and being sad. I've got friends who understand me and support me, but I've met people who told me I'm not normal. Let everybody say what they want to say, you know the best what's in your soul. We, the fish fans, understand you and support you. Our little fishes are our big friends. They will live forever in our heart.
PS PLease excuse my English, I'm from Eastern Europe

Samantha, my fish was looking just like yours. That is why I understand you so well. Right now, my eyes are red because of the crying 10 minutes ago. I couldn't help myself and looked at the pics with my little one. Of course, I started crying.
I know what you mean with the people who don't understand these feelings we have. But they will never know what they miss. Their heart is cold, you shouldn't worry about it. Right now, you have to think at yourself. As you can't bring him back, you can put his pics into an album, to write an article down (this is what I did in his memory), to cry your tears out and go on by living your life. He wouldn't want you to suffer, allthough it's impossible to stop crying at least a few days from now on.
I wish you good luck, and don't forget: there are people all over the world who feel like you do. And lots of fishes who are waiting to be loved.

I'm sorry to hear about Midnight It's hard loseing a friend especally when bonding with them so much.. It's not weird to be upset by that either even though people say. I was 8 years old when I lost my first fish. Was one of thoes big round goldfish you see in stores for 30 dollars.. Was my birthday gift from my brother and when she died I actually held her in my lap for 5 hours crying refuseing to let my mom take her. Even today I still cry that much when loseing one of my friends. Even today! A pregnant guppy I had died and I have no idea why. Eating healthy no scares or illnesses.

Everyone in my family thinks I've lost my mind by how attached I get except for my Bf. He supproted me through a week I lost a few fish and forced me to keep careing for them (it got to the point I was going to give up) and today I'm still thanking him. Now I have 2 goldfish thatkisses my cats nose when the cat is trying to catch them LOL

Now I have 4 tanks. 2 guppy tanks a goldfish and a 60 gallon for my african fish. I'm thinking about getting another betta since I lost mine 3 days after I got him (fish store sold him to me when he had fin rot) go figures he dies right after I get attacked hoping hed pull through..

Always remember Midnight is in your heart forever! Everyone here understands what your going through and we supprot you all the way!

Thank you Lyra0727. Really sorry to hear that. I the only place i have had any support is on hear i miss him so much my bf just thinks im mad and mental lol. I said to him he would be gutted if he lost his dog whats the diffrence between me and my fish and you and your dog none they both mean something to us. im looking to get another one i really want to. Midnight will always be in my heart as you.
