6/8/2010, sadness on the day of destruction.

Today I have sad news. Tillamock has...(sob)(hiccup)(sob)...DIED! Date of death unknown, as we came in today to find our beloved goldfish dead, floating at the bottom of the tank.The water itself has developed a filmy substance coating the surface of the water. And it smells like a sewer. Plants gone along with the fish. My guess is death by starvation. We did just get out of a 3 day weekend and even I know that no fish can survive that long with no food and decreasing water quality. Good news on the Decomposition front, Mr.Chuckles LIVES! The Decomp. section has been attacked with a swarm of fruit flies but he still fights bravely and it appears that an egg sack has developed on the side of the chamber as a call for reinforcements. I am proud of Mr.Chuckles it appears he has grown with the healthy gorging of fruit flies. The grass is still growing although at a rate slower than before and not enough watering appears to have rendered the grass, in absence of a better word, depressed. It appears the overall health has decreased. But fear not for today the Eco-columns get disassembled. Forever Saddened.
