Elvis Died Today

In Memoriam:

Elvis, a blue androgynous Betta fish, died today,Wednesday, March 23, 2011.  (S)he committed accidental suicide, leaping out of the water, falling three feet onto the floor. I found Elvis dead on the floor, next to my remote-controlled blue bunny car and a wooden initial of capital "E" (my middle initial).  A representative of Science Diet helped me pick out the Betta fish, and she even paid part of the tax at PetCo.  I had printed out instructions on how to care for a beta fish.  I regret that I had placed Elvis in too small of a container because the fishbowl with marbles made Elvis go crazy from seeing his/her reflection.  Elvis had a short, well-fed life in my room.  Elvis liked darkness, quiet, food, water, fresh air, candles, and incense.

I am not ready to replace Elvis.  I will read the instructions on how to care for a Betta fish before I get another one.
