Gone, but his memory remains
The picture shown here is in tribute of my platy named Stubar. He passed away this evening (March 25th, 2004). He was found resting peacefully on the bottom of the tank when I got home from work. One of three of the first fish I brought home, Stubar had no defining characteristic, no visible personality, and compared to my other fish, was absolutely average. He got sick, and fought bravely. He is now buried under the tallest rose bush in my backyard and is at peace. Stubar was a good pet, a good friend and he will be sorely missed.
ONE FINAL SALUTE TO STUBAR!
At this point in time, I would also like to add Tiny to the list of fish who have lost their lives. Another of the three platy's, Tiny died March 27th, 2004. Within days of his best friend Stubar. The smallest of the three fish, his brother's were always protective of him. Tiny is now buried next to his brother Stubar. May they both rest in peace.
Rest In Peace
