I'll keep this very short, as I'm fuming mad & hurting pretty bad.
Dan's stupid family managed to Kill Mango by over feeding him to the point he was poisoned by his water :(
He suffered all night & went to the RB about 10am this morning...
I'm a very bitter person today, so I've mostly kept to myself... as I really want to explode as Mango ment the world to me...
I'm crying again, so I need to stop typing, as I cannot see too well
Oh I am very sorry about Mango. :(
Rest in Peace Mango.
Mango has now joined the Ranbow of Fishies at the Rainbow Bridge. When you see a particularly red-orange sunset, that'll be him, saying hello, okay?
Poor Mango. They must have really given him a lot of food for him to die like that. Rest in peace Mango.
I'm sorry for your loss of Mango. :( May he Rest in Peace.
I am so sorry. RIP Mango:(
Thanks everyone... I've been quite upset over this... I was just days away from getting him back :( His tank is full of water in my new place, I hate seeing it.
All my friends are really really upset. They all disslike Dan right now (long story, but Dan brought that upon himself) & this pushed them all over the edge. Mango had a special place in all their hearts as they loved his crazy personality & his odd looks (Red Devils have a large forehead). They all joked that he held the secrets of the Universe with that big forehead of his :D
Most of my friends don't understand how much I love my pets, but they see my pain. Joe knew the stress I was under as it was my first night at my new place & then I lost Mango the next morning. So he invited me over to his place for most of Monday. We had a lot of fun.
Karen (I slept on her couch for over a month while I was temp. homeless) doesn't understand the loss of a fish, but I don't take any offence to it... She was really upset & said don't you worry I'll get you another Red Devil to put in the tank. I said I don't like to get replacements, so I never buy the same breed. She said ok, I understand, how about a Pirahna?? My sister has several & they are all 8 months old. Would that be ok? I said yes as I didn't want to offend her. A pirahna is the same kind of fish, so I have all the food & proper tank size.
Gio wanted to get me all kinds of little fish to put into the tank. I might let the guys get me a big Plecko if they are compatible with Pirahna, as I know Pirahna are far far far far more calm then Red Devils.
I'm so sorry to hear about Mango. How big of a fish was he? In the pics his coloring was gorgeous. I'd be so upset with the fishsitter as well.
Big hugs to you... whether it is a fish, a cat or a horse, it's a pet, and the grief is the same.
ThanksQuote:

I'm more then upset with the fish sitter.
Right now the grief is pretty bad, as I just started my new life that was suppose to be stress free, then this happens. I've been under so much stress the past few months, this isn't sitting well with me at all.. I really thought I'd have him for a nother 5+ years, as I was doing sooooo well at keeping his illness at bay sigh...
Awwww, I am so sorry about Mango, he had the best possible life with you.
:(RIP Mango:(
