My Siamese Fighting Fish (Betta) died today, June 13, 2017...

I do not know what to say, so I made a little table for all my past Bettas...

My Bettas in order:
Dorthy - pre-school, reflective blue body and red fins, lived in a glass vase with a semi-aquatic plant's roots to swim in, I used to sneak out of my room at night to talk with him, lived extremely long, presumably died from old age

Delta - bought before second year high school, dark blue, lived in the same plant vase that Dorthy used to, the first fish I cared for myself and trained to do tricks, lived two years (low professional average), died from unknown causes

Epsilon - bought before third year high school, first fish to live in the 'bowl' I use now, pure red, always swam with fins flared, tore up his fins on a fake plant (I took that out) and somehow mastered moving the shreds independently, never liked doing tricks as much as Delta, lived under a year (average for a newb), died suddenly from unknown causes

Zeta - bought in my senior year of high school, pure navy blue, liked to aggressively show his beard and generally attack strangers, grew huge even for his age, used his ventral fins like landing gear, I had Zeta when I was in the hospital for attempted suicide and for my first year in college and my first year living away from home, contracted a Columnaris infection in his left eye a week before his death and went blind in that eye, lived over a year (under professional average), died presumably from Columnaris infection induced starvation and/or drowning

---

The infection Zeta died from is extremely contagious and requires removal or complete sanitation of everything related to the infected fish. I will be taking donations to paypal.me/dinoval to buy and stock a new tank, but I do not plan on buying a new fish anytime soon...
