That's too bad. We had a very aggressive filter at one point too....maybe several all in the same color next time? It never worked with my kids, but hey, it's worth a shot at least. After awhile the novelty wore off, and the tank settled in a bit and the fish didn't die as often, so that was good :) Sorry about Soda. Or was it Pizza?
Since I just saw Nemo the musical, it is fresh in my mind. Maybe you could show that and explain that the fish was just trying to get back to its Daddy like nemo, but just didn't make it.
Our little fishie, "Horse", just passed away this week after a long battle with some weird fish mental illness. He belonged to our 2-year old, who instead of being saddened by his death, was strangely fascinated with the fact that Horse went to live in "the potty" with Goldie and Beauty.
Good luck. :)
i guess it did...the poor thing is still stuck onto it! poor little fishy!

Can it be replaced like when Rudi's fish died on the Cosby show?

Bummer for the Tiger Barb. If you haven't already, you'll lose more. They usually fight with other fish.
