Today is a sad day for the Pets Overload home. Unfortunately, we’ve lost one of our family members Flub.We’ve had Flub for just over a year and he will greatly be missed.
Flub was a red Betta fish who we so happened to adopt when a woman tried to return him to the pet store I used to work at. She frantically tried to give my old manager a bag with him and all of his belongings and my boss insisted that the frantic customer keep him and take good care of him. The manager called me that evening asking if I could take him home and love him as my own, and I immediately bought a fish tank for him and gave him the best home I could provide for him.
The past few days we knew Flub wasn’t feeling the best. He wasn’t swimming much and stayed near the bottom of his tank. Even though I tried to feed him, he didn’t want food and although the signs were there, I didn’t think this would be the end of his life.
Taking care of Flub (and Blub) has taught me a lot. They have taught me how to be responsible for a living creature that can’t tell you when they’re hungry and don’t tell you if they’re feeling sick.
Both have kept our little Beau entertained for hours, as he commonly chooses to sleep next to them at night. He has spent countless hours watching them and keeping them company. Beau has never been aggressive towards them and I know he’s going to miss seeing his brother swim for hours and hours.
Flub will be the first fish of mine to pass. I’ve had fish pass at the store before, but it doesn’t feel the same since Flub was one of the family. He’s lost a lot of his colour and his scales have opened and have changed colour. It’s a bit sad to see.
At first, I didn’t believe that he was gone. I tapped on the glass a few times to see if he would swim, but nothing. My little one is gone.
You will be missed Flub. We loved you dearly. But your memory will always be with us.
Oh, we’re so sorry of the loss of your dearest Flub, Beau and family <3 Soft Pawkisses to comfort you <3 Fly free beautiful Soul <3 <3 <3

I never had a fish like Flub, but I did once have a goldfish for about three years. It got quite large. I was a young teenager back then, MOL!
Anyways I am sorry to hear about Flub. He will be missed.
I made a card on a new site, as the kimi site is not functional at all anymore…I sent that card to your FB page…as a screen shot I don’t have a proper URL.
Pipo sends his purrs to Beau.

Aawww, we is sorry. Mommy has had Beta fishes before and she learned how much personality that fishes can have and how friendly they can be. She used to have one at her desk at work and would share breakfast with him sometimes. They like a little pinch of egg or cheese and will swim right up to her to get it. They are very calm fishes. She says they are kind of like cats because they are calm and mellow.
She also has had goldfish which she calls puppy fish cause they are so energetic. Haha. They will almost do tricks for food! But it’s been awhile since she had either type of fish.
We are sorry for your loss and our thoughts are with you for losing your little friend. Luvz, Patzy
Thanks Patzy for sharing those memories. That’s so sweet to hear!
