On October 27 2015 my betta fish Violet died.

Now I know what you’re thinking sad about a fish? I love fish! I like having them around. I like looking at them. I really don’t mind cleaning their tank. I got a small tank and it takes little time to clean it.

However Violet was fish I didn’t expect. She was playful! A fish that plays with a human? How can that be? Yes we played together. I would pop my head on one side of the tank and she would come cover then I would go to the other side and she would swim over. I would do that every day. It was fun. Then I would put my finger on the tank and trace it up and down and up and down. She would follow my finger. So cool!

One day she was upside down at the bottom of the tank. I thought is she playing? No found out she was sick. What I could figure bladder infection. I looked it up and took care of it. Then she was fine for a while.

Then on Tuesday night I just say her floating upside down. Went to pick her up with the net which she hated to be caught and I knew she was dead. I could catch her and she stopped moving. I told her I would miss her and I loved her. She was a good fish and down the toilet she went.

Bye Violet you were an awesome fish.

Here she is just hanging out on her leaf.
