I bought him a really long time ago, back when me and rich where friends. Rich was with me at the pet store when I picked petey out. My very first post here had a picture of him in it.
Petey was so pretty, all teal with purple at the end of his long long tail. He was with me through some dark times, and he always made me smile when I looked at his aquarium. I gave him a castle, a dragon, a tree and jewels all over the ground. I used to trip out on the castle when I was high and imagine all kinds of scenarios. My favorite one was the castle folk had stolen the dragons gems. The dragon was setting seige to the city, and I was riding his back. This was all happening underwater, petey was my friend and no one died.
When it snowed here I didn't have any heat or electric for a day and I left for hojo's. I came back and petey had iced over, he was on his side in the bottom of his tank and I was so upset for forgetting him. The heat came on, and the house warmed up by the next morning, I had decided I should clean out his tank and there he was swimming around and flicking his tail like he does when he is hungry.
I called him my ressurectafish.
He started turning white a few months ago, the color bleaching out of him and corey said he was getting old. He was still smart though, he would follow my finger all over the side of the aquarium and go for his food with gusto. He got a wierd hump in him a month ago and I knew his time was close. I started cleaning his tank weekly and feeding him all the time, because I wanted him to be full and clean when he left me.
He left today and I know he is just a fish, but I liked him an awful lot.
