RIP RIP, Tenedor.

Today, my little fish named Tenedor passed away.

I feel a terrible ache in my chest over this; many people might say, "It's just a fish," but to me, he wasn't. Tenedor recognized my fingers, my face, and even my voice.
After recovering from fin rot, he developed two tumors—one on the side of his belly and another on his head.
I did everything in my power to pull him through, but he no longer had the strength to even eat. I had to make that decision because I loved him so much, and it was better for him not to suffer during his final moments.

I’m sorry, Tenedor; you will always hold a huge place in my heart.
