Elvin and the three older kids went away for the weekend on a backpacking trip.
When they came back, they came home to the news that there was a casualty in the aquarium. Swishy, the white betta fish, unfortunately expired that morning. There he was laying on his side, lifeless, at the bottom of the tank.
In retrospect, in the past couple of weeks, he has looked more and more sluggish, often resting on the bottom of the tank. Overall, Eliana took the news fairly well.
So someone needed to scoop up the fish and bury it. The task fell to Karina because Eliana was too grossed out. Karina made sure to put on a latex glove for this job.

Eliana did dig a little hole in her raised bed in the backyard. Karina solemnly placed the fish in there. And then Xiao Yu helped to pile the earth back on.

Rest in peace, Swishy!
