At that same time i had other pets. There were goldfishes. I had 2 goldfishes and one Koi fish and some other small fishes. We wanted to place him with my other fishes so that he befriend them. I placed him in a bigger tank with my other fishes. He was the tiniest among them. There was a big "bully" and also called as "gangster" and also called as the "leader" - that was my Koi fish. All my other fishes were bullying him. I felt bad for him. His wings were bitten by them. His fins and fish tails were growing and he was becoming a beautiful fish. He could not take the current of the water as it was too strong for him. So we took him out of the tank and placed him his original home - that is his own small tank home.
There were once when i fell sick terribly. I was having high fever, headache, cough and flu. So i could not take care of my bluey. I kept my pet in a small fish tank which is compatible and can carry anywhere. His fish tank was placed on the dining table and i could directly see from where i could see him from my bed. As i was watching over from my bed, i saw my bluey stop swimming. My first thought was that my bluey was dead. But i just did not take so serious. My family members thought he was sleeping as usually you may not know fish will sleep. They may be floating. He did not float upside (when the fish is dead, it will float upside down). I asked my sister to take a look and she told me he is not dead but just sleeping. I went near to take a look and saw him floating. I tried to move him and there was no responds from him. And knew it was dead. I cried and we had to flush him in the toilet bowel. It heart-renching thing to do. The next day, my fever was gone and felt much better. I guess he sacrificed his life for me in order for me to be well. (if you don't believe i will tell you another incident)..
I had laohan fish. His name is Kimmy. He was given by my uncle. He was my second pet. I was very fond of him. I loved him very much. Can say he is like a dog. We placed the tank near to the door way. Before i go to school, i would wave good-bye to him and give him a kiss. He would swim until the end of the tank waved good-bye to me. (it is true, don't believe, it's your choice to believe or not).
I really miss him alot. As he is not with me anymore. Oh yah, let me go back to the story.
There was one incident that my grandmother and my aunt was about to go out to my relative's house. It was very windy and was about to rain. We don't like to go to that relative's house. On that day, my pet fish Kimmy was restless. It was jumping up and down, banging at every corner of the tank. It was trying to give signal not to go to my relative's house (There is one old lady there who does witchcraft, sort of - i donno know whether is it true or not). My grandmother and my aunt neglected what he was doing, thinking that he was doing a trick. After visiting my relative's house, my grandmother suddenly fall sick. We finally realised that he was trying to give signal from them going to that relative's house. Later, i gave him a kiss. He became shy and started to become blush.
I have got to tell you this. In the fish tank, we had kimmy (laohan fish), Koi fish (leader of the gang), goldfish and other fishes. We had partition between my laohan fish and my other fishes. Do you know fishes can communicate between? Have you seen? I have seen. Wahaha.... :D My aunt fet all my fishes with food and kimmy was given small fishes to eat (to last for the night). The next day, the small fishes for kimmy to eat was gone. I know what you are thinking that kimmy has eaten all the fish. No, you are wrong... After getting scolded from my aunt, kimmy became upset and the gang came up near to him and started to communicate with him and trying to console him. Especially the gang leader.
Let me tell you where have the fishes gone. It was on saturday, a day when my aunt, my sister and I would watch movie (only day they would telecast tamil movie - new ones). We fet them food and give kimmy small fishes to eat. As we were watching tv, we heard some noises from the tank. We secretly took a torchlight and shine upon them. There was the biggest shock we saw. It was not kimmy who ate all the small fishes. Poor boy..we scolded for him for no reason. It was the koi fish - the culprit, who was eating the fishes one by one when the small fishes swims to the other side. (the big gang's side) We later turn on the light to see what really had happened. Poor boy getting scolded.
Around year 2004 or 2005, one of my 3 aunts was in the room and my other 2 aunts, me, my sister and my grandmother were sleeping. All were sleeping except 1 aunt was not sleeping. She was praying and reading bible. She suddenly heard a sound. The sound came from Kimmy(my pet). She ignored. The next day when everyone woke up and i went to see Kimmy to wish him good morning. I saw one of his eyes was bloated. His eye was swollen. Do you know what had happened to him? He accidently hit himself at the motor. Poor Boy... There were lots of pain and i could sense the pain. He could see on the other eye. He became blind. I cried. When we feed him some food, he could not see properly. He had to be guided.
All my family members decided to give away or to put him in the lake (in chinese garden). My sister and i protested not to give him but we had no choice. My sister, one of my aunt, my mother and myself brought him togather with my other fishes like Koi and goldfishes. It was really a painstaking thing to do. My sister and I cried when we put them(espcially my Kimmy) in the lake. It started to rain too. I really miss him alot.
