Despite my timely rescue the other day, the tragic incident seemed vehement in repeating itself. I mourn for poor beautiful little red-tailed guppy.
(31 October 2003, Singapore) A 2-mth old male red-tailed guppy was found crushed on the concrete below a fish community-housing block at 12 pm today. Police speculated that the victim either died of asphyxiation or fatal injuries ?caused by a very big and heavy descending object?.
According to an eyewitness, the victim leapt out of the water during a gang fight over remnants of food pellets left by the callous owner. Block resident Ms. Molly said: ?I saw a few of them fighting and then one of them just leapt out of the water and onto the concrete below. I?m not sure if he was still alive when our owner?s careless foot descended upon him.?
When Agence Fish Press contacted the owner Mdm Neo, alleged to have carelessly stepped on the victim and reduced it to a pulp, she declined to comment further, saying that it was ?just a freak accident that was unforeseeable?. Her daughter Ms Lu claimed to have heard strange noises coming from the block prior to the accident.
