RIP Amigo no.1 - RIP text

Copied & pasted from the Tropical Fish Forum (saves me typing it all out again)
--------------------

It happens to all of us. We go to the local fish store, pick out a cute lil fishy only for it to die the next day.

This is what happened to Amigo #1 the Schwartz Corydoras Catfish. When I brought him home with the other two Amigos he didn't seem "right". He was much quieter than the other two, staying on his own and not moving around much - I put this down to the stress of being in a new tank and left him overnight. All was going well with him until this afternoon when I went upstairs to check on them - he was laying on his side on the sand, gasping and unable to get up (because you could see he was trying to right himself but he just couldn't). I filled up a small plastic tank I have with tank water and put him in it with some general tonic & stress coat but he still couldn't right himself. I kept checking in on him every ten minutes but he was just getting worse.. I left him a little longer and when he came back up he was dead

Poor Amigo #1...

Yeah, I was sad enough to draw my dead fish. So sue me.
This is the dated RIP version, will be uploading a non-dated version.
