Red's last moments on this earth

Red was my 5 and a half year old African Cichlid "red devil". I bought him when he was less than an inch long. Upon his death early Saturday Morning at 2:30am EST on August 22, 2009 he was 12 and a half inches long and 6 and a half inches tall. Red was hand fed all his life and loved to be petted. I had him for a little over 5 years. This morning at 11:00am EST I commited his body into Lake Hickory behind our home.
