Third Fish down

A friend of mine recently had a health scare and doctors are still unsure of what is wrong, so meanwhile friends and family sit in the darkroom of hope and fear waiting for the answer. In an effort to distract her mind and lift her spirits I bought Amberletta a silky red Betta fish with the longest tails that end in a curl of blue. Since both Rojo and Fransisco had both died in the same bowl I thoroughly rinsed out the gravel and pieces of wood debris and added a bamboo stalk. She was over the moon and after looking closely at her new pet she named him Oscar. She listened carefully to instructions on proper care and feeding procedures and took dozens of pictures. I held onto Oscar for a few days and while on the phone to my mother I watched the fish swim in circles on it's side and then die before my very eyes.
