Red Spot is okay.  But Minnie died. We didn't see her this morning when we put in some mosquito larvae.  Robert was worried so he took out some of the rocks and found her little body caught in the plants.  Why did she die?  She wasn't eating yesterday, but we just thought she didn't want to compete with the bigger fish.

Anders and Auggie were over, so we did an autopsy with my Exacto knife and the magnifying glass, which Robert bought yesterday.  Of course, we didn't find anything conclusive.

We gave Minnie a Viking burial with a little paper boat and some paper scraps.  We set it on fire and then launched the boat in the back pond.  Anders drew some fish friends to help her in the afterlife.
