Goodbye Ralph :(

[bcroft]

Well, after ick almost being gone from ralph, he got dropsy from who knows where and died today at 6:50pm EST. I stayed with him until he took his last breath. It was so sad, he would stop breathing then just dart up to the top and try to get some air to stay alive a little bit longer.

I don't know what caused this, all my other fish in the tank are fine

Picture of ralph at his prime is in my profile, he was beautiful and had such a unique attitude... he even ate off of my finger... i'll miss you little guy..

I'm sorry you lost Ralph, bcroft He certainly was a beautiful guy. I'm quite partial to the blues.

The first time he flared up like that I was amazed, he looked SO nice...

I'm not sure that I can get another one, I don't really trust myself anymore. Althought I did go through $200+ to keep him nice and healthy.....

I am so sorry for your loss bcroft. I know that it hurts when you lose the little guys and girls. He was a gorgeous fish.

bcroft it sounded like you had a lot of good times with ralph that will always be with you, but look at the bright side you could get another betta and have many, many more special times that will last a lifetime.
