Farewell to Eiji

This morning when we arose from bed we noticed that our dear beta fish Eiji had left us. He was with us for almost a year. He was the first addition to our family and a few months later became an older brother to our cat Roscoe. He was full of excitement and loved swimming around but always went into his hut when he was ready to hide. Whenever we turned on his light above his vase he would swim to the top and swim a circle a few times full of happiness. Sometimes we thought something was wrong because we would try to dig in his rocks. We knew that everything was good though. He started showing signs of age earlier this week. We will always miss Eiji but his spirit will live on. He will be joining Laura's old fish Milo in the Wabash.
