Well, as many of you know, Morgan City (my hometown) was the point of entry for Hurricane Gustav. Luckily, our house is still standing, but we did get some damage to our 2 apartments. Sadly, we lost one of our fantail goldfish to lack of oxygen, and also my pet Pacu (cousin to a pirhana) at work. Pac was my office buddy.... I hand fed him 3 times a day, and he LOVED bananas! Green beans too, along with various fruits and veggies. It has broken my heart to know that he just couldn't make it without power to his tank for 5 days. Yes, I cried. If you would have seen him roll on his side for me to pet him, you would know that he was the coolest fish EVER! My goldfish, Big Fatty, was an awesome fish too. He was over 8 inches long and fat as all heck. He practically waddled to the front glass in his tank when he knew he was getting fed. I will miss Pac and Big Fatty every day. They are now at that big lake in the sky, and I know when it's my turn, I'll bring flakes and bananas :)
