R.I.P. my friend...

Around 3:40am this morning, my arowana left me. It was hard for me to see it go, but i guess its better for it to go than struggling and suffering. It was pure toruture for me to watch is getting tortured by the disease and suffering, gasping for air and having occasional spasms.

It was a fighter, fighting hard for its life for an entire day. watching the eyes turn opaque and fins slowly rotting almost killed me. But i still hoped for miracles to happen and it'll be better...but i guess i'm wrong...

It had been with me for 6yrs and had been a good companion. Seeing it grow from a 2.5inch fry to a gorgeous adult aro give tremendous satisfaction. But well, at least it in a better place now. Thank you for the wonderful years my friend....*sob*
