RIP fishy

i have some work ahead of me tomorrow or the next day, to get another round of snork pictures up and blogged about. actually, they're up on flickr, i just haven't put the story behind it yet. i'll get to it.

there's also pictures from the yakima river that we floated down for keith's bday.

fuckin-A i love my new underwater camera. it's my passion now.

but what i did want to post about was the death of one of my fish.
they turned 5 years old right around now (the end of August), and the smaller one finally decided to go tits up.
admiral akbar's (the one on the left) still going strong.
i'm kinda glad they're finally dying off, but they've also been a part of me so long, it's weird to see them go. i wonder how long aky's going to last after the death of his sole companion.

it started out as four fish and a snail. akbar's now the only survivor.
the crazy shit is that the instruction manual claimed that it's rare to have these fish live for even a year.
500% longer is nothing to scoff at.
