RIP Indigo

Poor little Indigo, our last attempt to have a Betta fish, died yesterday.  I'm not quite sure why Indigo died.  I passed him on to Dee when I couldn't take the loss of Peaches...my little sick Betta.  Dee didn't take care of him like I would have, but he seemed pretty happy.  Until recently....  I asked Dee a couple of days ago when Indigo last ate, and she said, "It's been a while."  I told her to feed him.  Last night when Indigo was "swimming" vertically, I asked again.  Then I pronounced him dead.  She assured me he was not dead.  But after trying to get his attention, she said something like "Oh well."

I told her to flush him.  She asked me to.  I made her.  When she came back to the room, I asked her if she knew why I made her do it, and she said, "Cause it seemed like I didn't care."  I confirmed that was the reason and gave a speech about being responsible for a living thing and caring about it.
