Thanks everyone... I've been quite upset over this... I was just days away from getting him backHis 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![]()
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.

Mango was about a foot long. His couloring & fins were SOOOOO pretty!! He had one heck of an ugly face, but it was that kind of ugly you couldn't stop looking at & grew to love it... My friends loved how he would stick his forehead out of the water like a shark does with its fin lol
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
