Welcome Hatchepsut & and Hades!!!

Welcome Hatchepsut & Hades, my two new male guppies!!! (Hat-chep-soot and Hay-dees) At first, Hades was going to be named Alcibiades or Peracles, but I kept forgetting how to pronounce his name and it just wasn't sticking. I renamed him Hades: god of the underworld in Greek Mythology, which I think is much more fitting considering his coloring. Well, they will surely make my take a happy one for the upcoming (on Wednesday) one year anniversary!!!

A Weakening Empire

There has been yet another death. The aquatic kingdom has been going through some devastating times. All the fish seem lonely now, for the only species that I have two of is the corys. The death which I mentioned was the death of Ahmen Ra. He too (like Tut) I deemed immortal, the thought of him dying never crossed my mind. He has always been a part of my tank. I did notice about a week ago that his spine had looked slightly curved, which I remember the same thing happened a little while before Sharkbait's death. Now only six fish are left in my tank, three are bottom feeders, the other three are normal swimming fish, three are part of my original tank, three are not. I hope to revive my sorrowful tank before the one year anniversary of its birth.

Grave news

Two new headstones have been added to my graveyard of dead fish. The first was one of the Pachuses, he looked as if he was attacked and was hardly recognizable. He was found on September 27, 2012. He will be missed. The second death was devastating, for it was my newest fish, Apollo. Athena guarded Apollo's body until I found her. She died on October 4th, 2012 and was finally buried today (10/6/12). Both of these deaths have effected the Aquatic Kingdom forever. May they rest in Peace.
