Private funeral for a very public molly

Jane Doe, our newest balloon belly molly, was only yesterday featured in a Freshwater Adventures cover photo. Today, she is gone.

Doe was found dead early this morning. Her body was quickly removed from the gravel behind the Parthenon.

"At this time we have no reason to suspect foul play," said an unnamed fish official. "It's the kind of thing you expect in a community aquarium. New fish, new environment. Sometimes these things just happen."

Doe did not have family in the area. A private service was conducted this morning with but a few fish-watchers in attendance.

"For as much as it hath pleased, we hereby commit her body to the deep," said the priest as Doe's body was returned to the big pond.
