I was expecting a little more "belly up" action. Sinking ignobly to the bottom of your bowl seems a little anticlimactic. It took us almost a day to convince L that Flounder had indeed floundered. L kept reminding us that fish do get awfully tired and can be expected to take rather long naps. We gave Flounder a night's benefit of L's doubt, but eventually even she was convinced.
The ceremony was brief and to the point, and thankfully emotion-free. Personlly, I'm hoping we can honor Flounder's memory by not rushing out to replace him/her/it any time soon.
It's always wise to double-check.

RIP Flounder. :(
Lizzie should give Leif some lessons on fish grieving. He lost two goldfish in two days, and it was pretty hard on him. Ryle's betta, however, is going strong and now even has an African frog as a bowl-mate.
