Clyde today left me... I knew it had been coming - he was old and getting slow. I had to hand feed him for 3 weeks everyday as he was not getting his share of his food being too slow off the mark. I finally moved him to his own tank to give him some peace as the other fish started to steal the food from him from my hand also... he spent his last few weeks in 70 Liters on his own living it up on food and love from me.
I am devastated even though I was prepared and have cried quite a lot today <blush> He was a very special little fish to me... he was the most laid back cichlid I have ever had - not an aggressive fin in him. He was extremely hand tame and would love a good stroke turning and twisting to make sure I didn't miss any spots LOL He would look me up and let me know when he wanted attention by swimming close up to me and flaring then before I could even get up and lift the lid to the tank he would already be swimming up there waiting for me for some love ;)
Clyde as a Baby when I first got him - he was not much bigger than a Neon Tetra
Goodbye old friend... I am going to miss you so very much xxx
On top of this I am really ill with the flu at the moment and I can't shake it so I have not been blogging much - my apologies - I will be back to my fishy tales soon xxx

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.
Sad story. Why we are not ready for the death even if we wait for it?
How many years can live fishes? And in acquarium?
Hope you feel good quickly and will continue to tell other stories.
Awwww shame, Poor Clyde. With the caring fishkeeper that you are i'm sure he had a great life.
Big Hugs from the Squid. I've got lots of arms. :)
He was a very handsome fish.
