fish come and fish go

serenissimaI got three new cardinal tetras Monday night. A day and a half later, they are doing fine. That makes five of them.
I turned on the tank light this morning and found one of the cory cats lying on its back, right at the front of the tank.
Other than seldom seeing both the cories at the same time, there were no warning signs. At least it expired in a conveniently obvious place. As Chris remarked at the time of the previous fish death, "I begin to see why people get frustrated with this hobby."
The last of the cories was still swimming when I left for work. I think he must be lonely and I want to get him some buddies, but I worry they may succumb to mysterious demises, too. Poor things. The cardinals are more active and much more colorful, but the panda cories have cuter faces.
On a brighter note, I was pleased to hear that the space shuttle Discovery launched without a problem yesterday.
