A Dying Comet

Went to feed the fish this morning and Comet the comet was apparently an ex-fish. No warning signs, no swim bladder problems, ulcers or strange swellings, just a wee curled up orange thing. So I fished him out (a bit sexist but I've always considered Comet to be a guy), took this pic and then blow me but he gave a wee mouie! So back in the bowl he went 'cos I couldn't find it in me to despatch him to the great pond in the sky. But tonight I'm afraid there was no miracle recovery. It's a shame but even comets don't live forever.
Our goldfish (Vomit) looks a bit lonely already, we'll have to start the search for a new bowlmate.
