Jay was my algae eater. I'm pretty sure he died from stress, although he seemed to be doing pretty well.

Maybe it was just his time Spoiled! I'm sorry he died. But I'm sure he had a nice time with you caring for him.

It might have been, but I'm still very sad. When I took him out of the tank, I saw he had no eyeballs, just holes where they used to be. My other fish ate them out.

Nature can be pretty gross! I'm sure he had a much better life than he might have had. Sometimes, that's all we can hope for. All lives are precious!

Spoiled,I know you can get attached to a fish,my algae-eater got to be almost a foot long and as cutely ugly as he was I really liked him a lot.
He was adopted out to the pet-shop when we had to dismantle the aquarium,I went to see him for a while and he was perfectly happy in a big tank. Your Jay is now in the BIG aquarium over the Rainbow bridge What kind of fish do you have that attacked an algae-eater,usually they are pretty safe from any other fish?

Sorry for your loss. Hopefully he died of natural causes. My fishy commited suicide. Its no fun losing a pet no matter what their size.

He was the only one in the tank so we decided to get him 2 new friends. I think he might have been happy being a one man show cause the next morning we found him on the kitchen floor all dried up poor little guy.. I think he got scared from the 2 new fish and jumped out.

My fish that killed him by stress (I think) was my African Chichlid. I'm seriously thinking of giving him up to the pet store. Does anyone think that is a good idea? I just want to have a good option open.

So sad - glad you had a good funeral for him - now he is in algea heaven. My daughter has a siamese fighting fish called Red - and I would be heart broken if anything happened to him - he comes on vacation to us when they visit.

I also had a Siamese Fighter fish. He died after I had him for about 6 months. I have heard that they only live for about a year.

I don't have any advice about what to do since I have never owned any fish but I just wanted to say I am really sorry to hear about your fish
I had a friend who lost several fish because they all kept committing suicide. She tried everything - fish alone, fish with a friend, until she had two fish that went out together and then she gave up and bought herself a plant. |

Wow, thats horrible! Was there a top on the tank?

Committing suicide by jumping out of the tank?
There are screens for the tops of tanks though right?

Some tanks do, some tanks don't. If you keep a fish in a glass flower vase, then there wouldn't. The tops of fish bowls don't, but most aquariums do. Sometimes it surprises you - you're in the same room with the fish, and all of a sudden you hear a large splash.

My friend's hubby came home from a fishing trip with a crawdad and put it in their tank. During the night, it escaped out the top and they found it days later in the floor furnace.

Unless you have the knowledge and proper setup (LARGE tank, rock formations etc) to keep them, I would take the one you have to the pet store. |

The one I have is only about 2 inches long, and I do have a lot of stuff in my aquarium (two large rocks, at least two plants) and some other stuff. I keep him in a 15 gallon fish tank.
I don't know why Jay didn't hide, because there was plenty of room for him to. I think I'll consider giving him up to the pet store.

That must be a huge pond. They tend to winter over, but the birds catch them, too.
