Rest In Peace, Jax

Hugs Craig. Very sorry for the loss of your sweet friend.

Thanks all.

Sorry to hear - the loss of a pet is tough.

I recommend at least a 75 gallon. The width and height of a 55 is fine, but the 12" depth really is too narrow.
My two others are adults in a 75 and doing well.

I'm so sorry Craig! Jax seemed like he was such a personable little guy! Rest in peace sweet Jax

My heart breaks for you and your girlfriend it's the worse part of pets is the hole in your heart when they leave, I know you did everything you could to take care of your precious friend . Just keep swimming sweet little Jax in that big fish bowl in the sky. ~healing hugs from across the miles ~

Really sorry for your loss. Whenever someone or something passes, I always wonder why we inflict this pain upon ourselves. But it's because the many years of love and excitement are what get us through the tougher times.

I'm not sure if it's insensitive to ask to see a picture of him, if you have one, but photos help make the experience a little more real for us, too.

Keep your head up. Rest In Peace Jax

Thanks all. It was a busy past few days with work and a wedding, but today we are burying Jax and saying a few words. I'm sitting here typing and getting teary eyed (perfect timing after replying to @redshepherd thread about men and machismo, hahaha).

Yes, losing our animals hurts. It sucks, quite frankly. But it's important to remember the moments of joy they bring to our lives on a daily basis. And to remember that we gave them good lives. I will miss Jax always, but I know he's in fishy heaven and I gave him a good life while he was here.

Thank you. Unfortunately, I really don't have many pictures of Jax. The few I do have are from his first few months with me when he was tiny. And those (along with tons of snake pics and pics of my niece) are stuck in a flash drive that I can't get to work. My laptop crapped the bed a while ago, so I haven't tried in a while either.

RIP Jax and long live sobriety to u Craig. he sounded like a tough lil guy - survived his illnesses, that power outage but his time eventually came. glad he brought joy to your home and taught others about fish.

:hug:
