I have been cleaning the house today & doing all my water changes before we leave on Thursday for vacation.
As I was cleaning the tanks downstairs... I noticed that
Mr. Darcy ( my "old" Gld. marble angel) had died.
He was just lying there stuck in the plants.
Sad.
I didn't see anything that would of caused it.
He was an
old fellow, though....almost 5 yrs.
I guess I can at least find comfort in that
I think he went out being happy.
He got to spawn one last time.
I think it takes a lot out of them, though, honestly...and perhaps was too much for him. Mr. Darcy's fry never made it either....so guess I won't have to worry about them while we are gone. It well could of been that they were too "weak"... because of
his age.
I feel bad for Izzy ( his "Zebra" mate). She honestly is sulking. Her stripes have faded. Isn't that crazy? I feel so sad for her. I do not see that she is exhibiting any disease symptoms...( so I pray it is just sulking..and not anything else). Everyone else in there seems to be fine.
Anyways..seems many of the Angels I started out with
years ago have all gone to the fish pond in the sky.
Sad as it is
..that just happens.
For those of you that may remember..here is a trip down memory lane...
