All My Fish by Dana / Dana

This is to all my fish and kind of in a way, my Guinea pig, Koko. Its just for Koko in the way that Amazing Grace was HER song and I forgot to put it on her Tribute so i just wanted to have this kind of for her too. Though it really is for my fish. I have had a lot of fish over the years, Frank, Frank 2, Amy, Nemo, Themo. I have a fish now, Icea, too. This tribute is for my fish. Oh, and the death date is the date that Nemo died cause he was the one who died last out of all my fish.

Frank
I got him for Christmas in like 2nd or 3rd grade, i think 3rd. He was my first fish. I loved him a lot, even though he only lived for 2 weeks. When he died I wanted another fish right away.

Frank 2
This was where Frank 2 came in. Frank and Frank 2 were both betas with blue. Frank was blue with white and Frank 2 was blue with white and pink. Frank 2 was very social but sadly died in 2 weeks too.

Amy
I got Amy about a year after Frank 2 died. She was a also a beta, with red and white. Amy was less social and hardly ate anything the whole time she was with me. She would sit in the corner of the tank and not move until i kinda tapped the tank and then she would put on her “circus act.” After she lived for more than 2 weeks, I was really happy. 2 days before she died she became a lot more happy, eating lots and swimming around. But I did not have a lot of time to look at her because my play was going on then. She died for some weird reason 2 days after that. She lived 4 weeks.

Nemo
Nemo was the last fish to die, but I got him before Themo so I will put him first. Nemo was named after the fish in Finding Nemo even though he was a goldfish, not a clown fish. I had decided betas died to fast so I got a tank with a filter and Nemo. Nemo lived with my brothers fish, Spike, and his 2 guppies, Gumpy and Gilly. Gilly was a baby guppy and he disappeared 1 day after Nemo and Spike entered the tank and my brother always said Nemo ate him but I think he was just too small to find the body in the tank. Nemo always swam around a lot and his eyes bulged out and he was fun to look at. He loved to eat, and would gobble all the food and became really fat. Gumpy died after 1/2 a year. Nemo lived with Spike alone for about 1 year. Then I got Themo, they were best friends. Then we moved them to a bigger tank and entered Mini Me (my brothers) and Icea. We went on vacation and even though someone fed them Nemo died. (Themo had died before this, so had Mini Me). He lived for about 1 1/2 years, a record for me and my fish.

Themo
Themo I got for my birthday. I wanted her name to match Nemo’s, so I picked Themo. She was always really fast and my brother and me argued whether Themo or Spike was faster. She liked to eat, but not as much as Nemo. She was Nemo’s best friend, they were both goldfish, though Themo was smaller and a little golder. Themo died soon after we added Mini Me and Icea, but after Mini Me. I think the strain was too much. She lived for about 1/2 a year.

All my fish were awesome, and I miss them all but I know they are all swimming up and heaven and so is Koko (but not swimming). Nemo and Themo are together. Mini Me, my brothers fish, is up there too. I love you all my fishies! Right now I have Icea and my brother still has Spike. We miss you all! I love you!

 

With Love,
