Mr. G Died :(

[leeser28]

Well, my ancient gourami Mr. G died today. I rescued him (maybe her) from an abandoned pot 7 1/2 years ago and he has been with me since (so he was at least 8 years old). He'll be missed!

REST IN PEACE MR G!
Sounds like he had an awesome life

Thanks all. My daughter was very upset, she really has no memories of life without him (she's 11). I put him in the freezer so we can actually have a proper burial when the ground's not frozen solid. Most fish don't get this distinction, but given his special place we decided to do this.

I'm impressed at his age. He looked lovely and I'm sure he led a wonderful life! I'm sorry for your loss.

Sorry for the loss, sounds like he had a happy home.

Eight years? Wow, that's long for a gourami. You must have done a great job after rescuing him. I'm sure he's giving the gourami gods a glowing report about you.
