Tonight I was cleaning Betta's tank and noticed he wasn't moving. Betta died today and I debated whether or not to tell Mira, but decided to let her be a part of the flushing ceremony. She handled it well, then after a few minutes had this to say:
"I wish Betta was home and not died. I want a new fishy. I want Betta-pet. I want a blue fish. "
She wants to name the new fish Betta-pet. We will go to Petco tomorrow and pick one out. Betta lasted 6 months, which is pretty good, I think.
And here is one last thought from Mira: "After Betta-pet, I want to get a new fish when Betta-pet dies." How quickly we get over it.

Good for you Michelle. After our week old goldfish died, I put the bowl in storage. Ava hasn't missed them or their smell.
