Wensleydale died today, with his fins in the arrangement he always used when he followed my hand around.
His death is completely eclipsed by the death of Gothly's Gran, whose funeral we will attend next week. She died quickly and painlessly of a stroke, not seeming to notice that anything was amiss. Gothly is coping well, by busily informing other family members, and ordering arrangements of flowers from the undertakers. I am being supportive and pretending I'm not missing her too.
Death makes the world seem new and strange, doesn't it?

Sad but, in the case of the fish, perhaps this now means you have a chance to have a parasite-free tank again. I'll have to try a bit harder to come up with a silver-granny-lining.

It's major overhaul time for the big tank, which is now utterly teeming with the little monsters.
Sideshow Bob's doing well in 'hospital', though. I am very, very pleased about this!
