After Seven Months

Remember when I complain about the Japanese a cat fish I have in our fish tank? I always asked DH to take it out or give it back to the fish store, but he did not do anything about it. Like I mentioned before I bought other fish to join the cat fish, but all it does was eat the little ones.

Well, since July (after eating the last bought fish) I did not add anymore. It was alone until a week ago. The fish tank was getting very dirty and dark, and I bought a sucker fish (algae eater). I made sure I got the biggest one I can find because I don't want the Cat fish eating it, I wanted the tank clean. After two days the tank was clean again, this algae eater was very hungry, I assume.

A week later, the algae eater moved into the sunken ship inside the tank, where the big cat fish was hiding. I think the algae eater was still cleaning and drove the cat fish out. After a day being out of hiding it fell ill. It started lying right side up, and yesterday it was confirm dead. There was no movement and not gasping for air anymore.

This was the cat fish.

Yes, after 7 months, after a week of putting a new fish, and after two days of having a clean tank, it gave up on me. I should have put a large algae eater a long ago. I know, I'm bad...:(. I wanted to keep all of them, but I can't afford to buy new fish every week just to feed the cat fish. I always feed that thing everyday too. Anyway, I am happy and sad about the whole thing. However, I am happier that I can put some colorful fish in the tank and I'll make sure not to get cat fish again.
