9Y2M 7Y5M きんちゃん Boys' goldfish

アラタカラが去年のよさこいの金魚すくいでゲットした金魚のきんちゃんが天国へ。強い金魚で、自分より大きな金魚を次々と攻撃、ストレスから病気になり次々といなくなり、一匹になると、どんどん大きくなり、金魚鉢を一匹占め、悠々自適に泳いでいました。

今年のよさこいで大量に仕入れた金魚を同じ水槽に入れてしまったのが原因。あっこちゃんから経験談を聞いていたので絶対にやらないと思っていたけど、入れてしまった・・・。一週間で全滅。

きんちゃんは最後まで頑張ったけど、アラタは大泣き。ハムスター飼いたいと言っていたボーイズ、全く言わなくなりました。お墓を作って供養。

私もこの一週間、毎朝何匹もの金魚が死んでいるのを見て、かなりのストレス。最後は私もショック。一番ショックだったのは一番面倒をよく見ていたJasonだったかもしれないけど・・・。


Aratakara's first pet, a goldfish, Kinchan, has gone to heaven.They got it last year at Yosakoi fish-catching stall. She was a strong one, and chased away other bigger fish and made them stressed to vulnerable to disease. After she became the only one in the fish tank, she was swimming freely with elegance, and growing bigger.

The reason is apparent. We put lots of fish boys got from this year's Yosakoi in the same tank. Akko-chan told me before that we shouldn't do it from her experience, and I was well aware of that, but it happened.... Within one week, all died.

Kinchan was the last one, and  we all hoped for the miracle. Arata especially cried a lot. Boys had wanted to have a hamster but they've never brought it up again. We made a small resting place for her.

I was also really tired. Every morning, I found a couple of dead fish in the tank. It was so stressful, and in the end even Kinchan was gone. Probably Jason, who was the de facto caretaker was affected most.
