Luke dies suddenly; Irwin clinging to life

It's been a tragic 24 hours for the community tank. Luke the dwarf gourami died suddenly of a gill fungus that was noticed Wednesday evening. Luke was taken to Dorothy Jean Memorial Hospital, where anti-fungal medicines were administered, but he never rallied and died overnight.

Meanwhile Irwin, Jamon's Bala Shark, is swimming upside down and isn't expected to survive the morning. The cause of his ailment remains unknown.

Princess Leia, Luke's sister and fellow dwarf gourami, is said to be bearing the loss of her brother well.

"The Force runs strong in that family," said a close family friend. "Luke and Leia were close but she's showing the kind of courage one would expect from a princess/senator. Their father would be proud."

Other tank members are being watched closely for signs of distress given the recent tragedies.
