She had a good life. Eight years is not too shabby for a minnow.

I'm really sad to hear.   :cry
Being an aquarium keeper, I've had many of my favorite fish die. Most people look at me funny when I get depressed and say 'it's just a fish'. Well, they were just a fish, but they were a friend too, and it hurts just like losing any other kind of pet.
Really sorry to hear your loss Phantom. Best wishes.

I'm very sorry to hear that. Reminds me of all the fish I had that died, including my sea monkeys... :(

Always very sad when a pet dies.  Some are more friends then pets.

She was a special fish. She liked classical piano music.

Sorry to hear that, Phantom; it's never easy to lose a pet.
She sounded like quite a remarkable fish, though

Aw, :( I lost all my seamonkeys in one day - after their tank was knocked into the sink. Ah well, I hope they're living safe somewhere in the sewers... hopefully not mutating into giant slime creature O_o

My condolences :cry

Having three birds (the first ones living in my room and the first ones to live longer than two years at that ...) I know the pain of loosing a pet. They can even replace family to some degree (well, a fish rather not... but especially dogs can I think). My piano teacher lives on her own and she loves her dog (and her many other kids of pets) like children.

RIP fish, you will always stay in Phontom's heart so you won't die because there is one special person that lets you life in her heart :yes
Inactive, probably forever.

Sorry to hear that, Phantom. I've never owned fish before, but I know how painful it can be when a pet dies - they're one of the family. Hope you feel better soon.

A am terribly sorry to hear about your loss.  It is always difficult to lose a beloved pet that you have supported for years.

I'm sorry Phantom :(
It is always sad when a dear pet dies and there is so little one can say to offer any real comfort. All I can say from own experience is that I very much hope that with all the sadness of this time in the end the memories of the much longer good times will stay more prominent and longer than the grief about your loss.
