Swim in Peace, Spudinski

I am sorry to say that my little juvenile crowntail betta, Spudinski (Spud for short, and also nicknamed French Fry), passed away this morning. I got him at a reptile expo in May, and had about  a month with him. Last night I realized that he had developed dropsy, which is an often fatal fish disease. I hadn't noticed until then, but it was already too far along to be treated. It was late at night, and so I could not pick up the stuff needed (clove oil) to humanely euthanize him. Swim in peace, Spud. You will be missed.
