Gone to meet her maker

It's indeed saddening for me to announce that Scarli, the black goldfish is dead.

We bought Molli (another black goldfish) and Scarli in July 2006 at the Qian Hu fish farm. Sadly, Molli could not live past the first day in her new home. Scarli survived 5 months and passed away peacefully on 24 November 2006 (Friday). Cause of death is unknown but no foulplay suspected. Here are the possible causes of death:-

1. Cancer - A white tumour seemed to have manifested itself onto Scarli's spine 5 days before her demise.
2. Bacterial infection / parasites.
3. Black Molly disease - A common disease among black goldfishes and characterised by white patches on the fishes' body.
   

Here's a tribute to Scarli, the beloved goldfish who came, saw and left.

Goodbye Scarli
You've gone to heaven
Where you'll finally meet
Your best friend, Molli

We named you as such
Due to your white scar
But you've been a strong girl
And even outlived Molli

We're sorry if we've neglected
To change your water daily
We'll miss you Scarli
You've been a great fish

REST IN PEACE (R.I.P.)
