I'm a little sad right now...

I know it's going to sound strange, but today while my hubby was cleaning one of his fish tanks his Oscar Opie passed away. She was fine and swimming a little bit around the tank then she went to a corner of the tank and just passed away.
She was pretty old but I still feel sad. We've had her for 10 years. Rip Opie, You'll be missed...

It doesn't sound strange at all... Swim in peace at the rainbow bridge sweet Opie...

RIP Opie ... Weird NO , I cried for a few days when my first betta died

Aww the way you wrotes this just shows that you really had really warm feelings toward your fishy...It made me sympathize with you even though I've never been sad over losing a fish before...
RIP Opie..

Opie was a part of your family for 10 years. Not strange at all to be a little sad.

Thank you all for your comforting replies. It's been 2 days and I still miss her.

Rest in Peace, Opie

On the other spectrum of things, there are subhumans who can spend 6 years with a dog and then abandon it for no good reason "My wife is having a baby and she doesn't want the dog anymore" *mutter mutter*
