One of my goldfish died today :-(

We had three remaining of our old fish, two gold ones and Piggy, who had a piggy snout, and turned white after a couple of years, he started off gold. They are 11 years old, and we used to have six of them, two Black Mores and two shubunkins...but one by one they've bitten the dust in the last few years. Only Psycho and Fatty left, and both of them have cataracts.

sorry about your fish TW
i have fish myself you do get attached to them

RIP Piggy

Awwww did you have a flush funeral?

was it a council cremation

a in the bin job

Actually, I did get quite attached to Piggy, poor old thing. I think he went senile in the end.

He'd come up to the top of the water in the tank then just drop like a stone, if the others were in the way, tough!

No, no fishy funeral, just a general wrap in newspaper and buried in the bin. (no garden here)

R.I.P PIGGY.x :-(

No compassion you lot.

RIP Piggy...off you go to the fish tank in the sky where you will see all your fishy ancestors.....have a word with the big fish for me....tell him tanks for everything.

OH that's it, I'm going to start RRing everyone who takes the mick... :-D Especially you Susan Wiv. :-P

You are touchy TW - I don't see anyone taking the mick. We sympathise deeply with your loss - poor Piggy :-\

did you try

the fish i mean kiss of live hun

WMSL......leave it out TW.....I was the only one even trying to be compassionate!....twas me fingers let me down towards the end.

Besides....I had a fish once......... some of my best friends are fish

I'm sorry SueMaid...it's the grief *sniff*


Well actually, attached as I was to him, my grief extented to a brief 'awwww Piggy's gone!' when I found him floating, then I had to deal with it as OH can no longer get to the tank..

I am sorry to hear about your sad loss and hope your memories you had together with your fish will give you the strength and comfort you will undoubtedly need to come to terms with your sad loss

I remember when my children where very young and they had fish which they loved and cherished and we had a ceremony in the garden when they past away my daughter said a prayer and laid them to rest it was beautiful and i believe helped her get over the fish but she has never forgotten them as i am sure you won't forget your fish

my thought are with you and your family in these difficult times

RIP Piggy
