Not an auspicious start

[torquill]

Sadly, Proton didn't make it. Absent the usual factors -- lack of food, infrequent water changes, fungi or parasites, extreme heat -- I have to assume that his initial injuries were worse than I thought. I'll make sure the next fish isn't fumbled by the aquarium guys and dropped on the floor.

He'll be buried in the cucumber plants, where I'm sure he will be appreciated.
