They float at first, but after a while they will sink...just for the record. RIP Sashimi |

Sashimi sunk, and stayed sunk until this morning, then when I came home from work he was floating... I waited before I flushed him just to make sure he was really dead, cause when he was first laying sideways on the floor of the bowl I went over and screamed at him and he woke up, he did a bunch of flips then kept sinking and did that over and over for a few minutes, then he sunk for all eternity! :(

My condolences,
You must have taken very good care of him because according to About.com they only live for one or two years, even in the wild. Mine died a few months after I got him. I'm not sure if I did something wrong or he was just old when I got him considering where I got him (super sketchy dollar store) I wonder if he sank because betas are predators and are all muscle, whereas goldfish are scavengers and are mostly fat. Or maybe its the big fins. |

He floated after awhile. That's why I kinda waited awhile before I flushed his tiny lifeless, bloated shell of a physical being down the toilet... Because I wanted to make sure he wasn't just sleeping and holding his breath...
I really liked that fish, He had a lot more personality, and fiestiness than any other fish I've ever had, but I did feed him premium freez-dried wormy worms, so maybe that gave him more energy. He was a great guy. I didn't think it would depress me that much, but it is sad to walk by and not have a fish doing tail spins when I glance over. Surprisingly I notice his absence more thna I thought I would. God forbid what will happen when Mojo and/or Jojo die. I swear I'll have to take bereavement leave.... |
