A farewell to a beloved pet.

Today I have some very sad news. Last night MacGuffing, my beloved pet pleco died of Old age.

They were one of my oldest fish in the tank, They were present for a good junk of my life. They were around for my graduation, my first steps as an adult when I figured out I was queer.

The tank will feel much emptier.

They were one cool dude and a brilliant fish. They had somehow acquired a taste for fish flakes even though I had algae wafers fit for a pleco.

They would do this thing where they would try to go the surface and try to eat as if they were a surface fish, the goof.

At one point they even recognized me and learned the feeding schedule, whenever I would approach the aquarium at a particular hour they would go straight to the surface with its mouth begging for food like a puppy. That is how crazy they were for fish flakes

And I was glad to indulge them a little as a treat.

I´m going to miss that, I gonna miss how beautiful they were with that big dorsal fin, they were a calm chill fish, never bothered their tankmates, so calm that other fish took them as a hiding place, hiding beneath them sometimes.

To have a pleco is a commitment, they tend to live for very long time and I´m glad I succeed in their care seeing how much time they lasted.

So Goodbye dear friend, you will always live in that fish tank that is my heart.
