Sorry about your fish.. I also had (and have) many pets and know how it is
to lose one.

This story reminds me of my goldfish... When I was a kid I had one in a
small bowl.
(I was poor, and couldnt afford a bigger aquarium).
There wasnt internet of course, and no specialized stores back in those days
(and that country).

So the goldfish survived the weekly (100%) water changes, no filter, and "as
much he could eat" many times
a day feeding for NINE years.
He was 9 years old when I gave him away (to a kid). I moved, so I never
heard of him ever after.

I hope he's still ok (if the goldfish can live 25 years)
