RIP my 13 year old clownfish

[hiimsean]

This was a tough loss at our house. She was my first saltwater fish. I picked her up from someone on the board who bred clowns up in Canton back in February 2012. She’s been in five different tanks over the years. She was very passive, compared to my male, and would eat from my hand. I’m going to miss seeing her every day while I work. RIP Richard Parker.

SIP, it’s never easy losing a beloved pet that’s been with us for such a long time. 13 years is a great run though.

SIP little fishy. 13 years in indeed a great run. I've never had a fish live that long.

Sorry for your loss of Richard Parker. Love the name. It's amazing how these fish have their own unique personalities.

Sorry for your loss. It is amazing how attached you become!

Thanks my wife named her right after reading and watching the Life of Pi, even though we got Richard Parker first.

She was the oldest pet in our house. The male, Pi, is about 11/12 years old now.

I am sorry for your loss. We become attached for sure. I have a dog that is 13 and I pray that her demise is delayed. I have become attached to all of my tank inhabitants as well as my dogs. It took me a year to overcome the loss of my last dog and I still miss her.
