Adam and I have always found a fish tank to be relaxing and some what entertaining. A few weeks ago we decided to get an aquarium and buy some fish. That brings you to date.
Stella Maris was our girl and she loved to sink to the bottom of the tank and watch march madness with her dad. Adam would talk to both she and Basco and enjoyed watching them and learning each personality.
Well Friday, Stella began to act unusual and she eventually starting floating on her side. Which after much research we learned that she was probably bloated and since she can't (excuse my French) burp or fart she is pretty uncomfortable. I am sure you can feel her pain. Little did we know she was really suffering from ammonia poisoning and this is just something that can happen to a goldfish. So in here is her obituary. We had a lovely burial at sea for her yesterday.
Stella Maris Burgess
birthdate: unknown-
Death: 3-30-2008
Stella Maris Burgess went to be with Jesus on a cold Sunday afternoon, while her Mother took a nap. She was a lovely goldfish and spent most of her time watching the TV. A calico, fantail, goldfish, Maris is survived by her Parents, Adam and Emily, and a brother, Basco. Who is coping well. He is enjoying having the whole tank to himself.
Seriously, Adam and I were both pretty sad over losing her. Although we have had a lot of fun joking about it!

Uhh... went to be with Jesus?
Jesus knew what to do with fish. He even demonstrated it...
And to think I never got to meet my grandfish!
Randy,
Your coldness toward our loss is reprehensible. I love me some sushi, but once you name it, you can't eat it!
