"My fish died on Saturday night after 14 years. It was a feeder fish that we got for a snake, but the snake died before we got around to two of the fish, so we kept them. One died after a few months, the other made it a little longer. During the 1994 Earthquake it lasted about 15 minutes on the carpet on shards of its own tanks glass. It used to be gold, but then slowly went silver, then white, and before it died it was missing all but a few of its scales and if you looked at it closely you could see its insides. And in 14 years he never had a name. We buried him the back yard (you don't flush a fish like that) and we miss him dearly."
