My sweet little nugget 💔 I am so heartbroken. How do these little creatures make such a big stamp on our hearts? He unfortunately had a tumor for most of the time he was with me. It recently grew quite rapidly (double the size pictured here)and I moved him into a new tank that was landscape vs. portrait to support his mobility. I'm trying not to beat myself up that his new environment caused his demise, though I certainly understand it could have contributed. I can't stop crying and blaming myself.
I was to keep his tank running to provide a home for another fish some day… Not sure when I'll feel ready (he was a spontaneous rescue almost two years ago) … Has anyone done this and kept the tank so it would be properly cycled for a new friend? Any advice?
