She does and I'm really not sure KC. We're now down to half a dozen slightly bedraggled looking guppies and the catfish (who lurk at the bottom of the tank unless it's dinner time anyway). It's an expensive hobby and I blame myself, have not had the time to maintain the tank as well as I should of late (due a big clean tomorrow) and water quality was probably a part. Ah, Catholic guilt, the one thing I have hung onto from my childhood religion...

Hmmm. Well, now you've moved to a house and she has a garden to play in, there'll be lots of other things for her to watch and enjoy.

Nooooooo! Not the guilt!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Poor you :eek:

Seriously, it sounds like a hobby you've outgrown, they've become a duty not a pleasure - maybe let the present fishes go to the aquarium in the sky in their own time, and then let your own aquarium move on as well?

Anyway, I hope you can relax with what's left of the evening.

I'm sorry to hear about the fish Ed, that's gutting. I remember taking my fish to the vet in a bowl once, you do get attached to them.

Many more dead fish, DD fell off the couch, no harm done. Lurgy has entered an even worse phase, voice gone! :eek:

Still, we won at rugby!

Fingers crossed that I will soon be able to say the same but half time score ain't great.
