Alpha is gone. Dead. Flushed. Our first family pet lives no more. It was a sad day. I think I did it. I gave him a heart attack and he breathed his last sometime while I was at work on Frinday Oct 20, 2006. He lived a good life. He kept us company. We will miss you Alpha. We will miss playing the drum for you. We will miss making you flare and seeing if you would follow our fingers around the tank. You will soon be replaced but not forgotten.
