Pet Fish @ MindSay 
R.I.P. Ming & Ying
Two of my fish died. Ming, my Yoyo Loach, died last night and Ying, my Chinese Algae Eater, died today. I had to bury them both today... I'm so upset. I was freaking out thinking that my other fish would die so I ran up to the pet store and had my water checked. It turns out my pH is low so they gave me some Alkaline buffer to raise the pH. I'm so worried that my other fish will die. I'm letting some water age and it should be ready by tomorrow, but I'm scared my fish will die tonight. I'm praying to God that they won't.
I'm giving away my goldfish, Tang. He's too big for my 10 gallon tank. He's about 5 inches long now and he's creating way to much waste even with both of my 10 gallon filters running. I'll just take him back up to the pet store. The guy at the shop said that my tanks horrible conditions might be because of overcrowding.
So, anyway... super depressed today. Don't feel like exercising or even eating right now. My dad doesn't understand. He says, 'They're just fish.' But I told them, 'When I bought all of my animals, I took a silent oath that I would take care of them and do everything in my power to make sure that they have everything that they need.' He just doesn't understand. I look at my pets as parts of my family, an extension of myself. My dad doesn't look fish and hamsters and hermit crabs that way... dogs, sure, but not other animals.
It was terrible to have to scoop out my poor little Loach, but it was excruciating to have to pull out my poor, poor Algae Eater. He was gnawed on all over the place. Little bits of his delicate flesh were waving around as the water churned. To me, in my eyes, it was like looking at a mangled child... it was absolutely horrific. I hope I never have to experience that again.

Not Nemo
I've been thinking about getting a fish lately. i like animals. and being that i can't afford a dog i think a fish would be cool. the other day i was at a local shopping center called frandor and a steped into the pet store there to use the restroom. i ended up being there looking at the birds and guinnee pigs (I don't think they have dogs and cats there) and lizards. i stoped at the fish section. i was thinking of buying this blue fish for a couple bucks. I didn't because i am going to be moving soon.
Fish are cool.they are cute they are smart, and they can swim really well :) I think i would be able to take care of one. they don't require all that much compare to a dog, or cat, or bird. they need to be fed, they need to have their bowl cleaned, they need fresh water, the water needs to be de-clorined, other then that what else does it take to care for a fish?
i don't know what i would name the fish. i mentioned it to a couple people and they both said Nemo. ok we get it Finding Nemo was a good movie but i would try to be more original then that if i were to get my own fish. I think if i couldn't think of a name i would just name it Fish.
What do you people think should i get a pet fish? any Name ideas?

i am in mourn...
after what happened today...i am in no mood to blog about yesterday...
i was in the living room trying to get a docs appointment for some vaccines i need for school...as i was on hold, daniel runs up to me and says "tia, your fish is dead"...i'm like "stop playing, that's not funny" {daniel} "no, i'm serious, come look, he's going in circles"...
i hang up the phone...run to my room and there he is...Mr. Nibbles II is going in circles, and just as i am telling Juice to get the bowel, he sinks to the bottom...we run to the restroom and i turn on the faucet...i place the bowel in the sink...but it's not use...he is dead...i stuck my hand in and tried to squish him a bit to get some water in the lungs, it was no use...he just lays there in my hand...
i cried so hard!!! i just sat there on the toilet with my hand in the bowel crying my little heart out for half an hour...Juice started crying...i don't know what happened...his bowel was kinda dirty, but he's been through worse water...i had just fed him, there was still a drop of food in the bowel...the whole time i was calling babe...i called him like 20 times or so...then i left like 5 messages...i finally paged him and gave up calling him...
i love my fish sooo much!!! he was a xmas present from babe...funny thing, the fish was a year and 7 months...babe and i lasted a year and 7 months...when babe and i broke up he was saying "it would be freaky if the fish lasts as long as we did, it's a symbol of love"...and look...
babe finally called and i cried even more...he's like "baby, what's wrong, why are you crying? please baby, tell me what's wrong"....i so wanted him here to hold me...he was the one to tell me that Baby passed away as well... i told him what happened and he gave me his condolences...he was so supportive "it's ok, we'll get you something better next time, i promise, i'll get you something before you leave"...
i brought Mr. Nibbles II back into my room and i cried somemore...he looked so peaceful laying among his orange rocks...i layed some napkins in my kleenex box, and layed a layer of orange rocks...i wrote on his bowel "Mr. Nibbles II 12-25-03 -- 07-19-05" and took some pix of him...then i layed him in his box...i wrote a little note of nice things and layed the note in the box as well...i dropped in some drops of his food...then i taped up the box...
the whole time, my nieces and nephews were giving me condolences and saying nice things about him...they took turns hugging me and paying respect to my fish...my parents saw how attached to the fish i was and my mother brought me 4 flowers: 2 pink, 2 red...my dad brought me a different red flower as well...
we went outside and i was the first to break the ground...Juice helped dig a hole big enough for his box...we all said one more nice thing about the fish, and i layed him in the ground...we threw in some flowers and then covered him up...
i layed the 2 flowers on top of the burial site...
i have already washed out for the last time his fish bowel, and i scrubbed all his toys...i layed out the rocks on a towel...now that everything is dried, i am going to box it all...putting it up in the top shelves of my closet, and touching none of it...
my beloved fish Mr. Nibbles II passed away at 11.30 a.m.
i am going to miss him very much...he was to go to college with me...i already had his travel case so he could be comfy on the road...
Gianna said she was going to get me a new fish...she's only 4, she really doesn't know the concept of death...Coressa however, does know the concept of going to heaven, she was there when my grandmother passed away, and when her grandfather Carl passed away as well, she's 5...
Daniel, Jacob and Kimmy were telling me their losses so i could know that they felt my pain as well...little kids are so cute!!!
i dunno what happened...i guess it was God's turn to have a pet fish...i guess my pet dog {Baby Silva} wasn't enough for him, or Baby prolly wanted someone to play with...
i miss my fish, it's time for his supper...
