I went to Google in search of a fish sympathy card. While I didn't exactly find one, I found these touching sentiments from others who have also lost fish.... perhaps knowing that others understand your loss will help you.

We Love you Sam Elliot, you were a good fish. I don't know how Ginger will go on without you. I hope Sammy Jr. will help her heal, but your memory will live in our hearts forever. We are glad that you aren't hurting anymore. Rest in Peace sweet fish.

Helix Mourns the Loss of Phish the Fish

"Today was a very sad day in my apartment. As of January 30th, 5:10pm CT, Phish the fish was viciously murdered by Morton Salt the Snail. This horrible act will not go unpunished!

Phish is survived by the 3 baby fish she had given birth to a month prior to her gruesome death. As well as her bowlmates Fatty and Buggy. We will never forget you Phish!"
(Jessie)

Helix is touched by the outpouring of support he has received on behalf of Jessie.

Your compassion moves me...

When I worked at DC, my boss kept goldfish in her office. She gave two to her assistant, a friend of mine.

One of them committed suicide (jumped from the bowl and landed on the window sill). So we got a sympathy card. And of course the sentiments were much the same as those expressed above.

The boss was the last to sign it, she wrote. "I see nothing funny about the loss of a pet. I'm sorry. Love..."

We behaved for a good long while after that.
