A last message from the Grokefish

Here is a sad story.
The Grokefish is dead.
Whilst transporting him to his new home I put him in a large poly box and put him in the back of my truck.
The box I had the trachy in had a small hole that I didn't notice when I put him in and all the water leaked out whilst he was in the back of the truck, he was lying in the bottom gasping so I quickly grabbed him and chucked him in the nearest tank, he seemed to recover apart from he looked a bit drunk but unfortunately I've got up this morning and he's gone to meet his neon masters in the giant river in the sky.
I've transported hundreds of fish this way even really big megladoras and never had a problem before.
I think it was because I was in a rush.
Now I am really psst off with myself :evil:

This is the last message you will hear from the grokefish. :cry:

And here's a last salute to the Grokefish.

It'll be dearly missed
from the Auchenipterids list.

PS: Matt, see to it that you don't send your Tatia galaxias towards the Milky Way.
PS2: of course the Liosomadoras can't be blamed for this unfortunate death

Thanks guys I'm more angry with myself for rushing it just goes to show how carefull we must be with these fishys lives.
Kostas:- actually he really got on my nerves, but he was cool.
I only used the name because I couldn't think of anything else at the time.
