framlingemDo goldfish pine?
One of my roommates' fish (I suppose it's my fish too, but... yeah.) died today. I went to feed them and it was sort of under the plants, not moving, and the other fish was hovering next to it. I moved the plant and the dead fish turned belly-up and floated right to the top.
Said fish has been buried at sea with all honours. I sang Taps and everything.
I cleaned the fishbowl in case there were dead fish germs in the water, put room temperature (measured with a thermometre) water back in, put Survivor Fish back in, and fed it... it showed no interest at all in the food and now it's hanging out down by the plant. I don't want to kill both the fish, but I'm pretty sure it'll be dead by morning.
Poor thing misses its friend, I think. But... don't goldfish have a three-second memory span?
