Dear Fish, I am sorry

Dear Fish;

I am sorry.   I am sorry that over the years many of you have come and gone in my tank of death.

I tried, really I did.  Two guppies have recently joined the rest of you in fishy heaven, but that is it.

I am determined to make this work. I love all animals, and while chances are I will never love fish as much as I love my cat and dog, I still care for you.

It seems as though I may have found a way to stop the unnecessary deaths.  Apparently, even-though I asked many "fish experts" - I was missing a key element.  While you don't REQUIRE an air pump, well fish need it.  I think I was honestly sucking the life out of you by not providing enough air.

This is all still to be proven.  But I did the $10 investment, and already there seems to be a better vibe in the tank.  Could it be this simple?

The lady at the fish store said chances are, I had nothing to do with the guppy deaths.  They could both have been sick when I bought them, especially since they died so quickly when others are surviving.

So, live on my lucky seven.  I do hope that going forward this will be known as the Tank of Life.

And Lisa, I'm not a fish killer.  Really, they die on their own accord.
