| The End of Ralph
A few weeks after settling in, a serious case of 'white spot' infected the water inside the bowl, while this was not fatal it is debatable whether it was a factor in the ultimate demise of Ralph. The white spot was treated with success and this led to a more active life within the water. It was noticed however that Ralph had started to turn black in patches.
This turning black was dismissed as a change in the colour of the fish due to its species type. Again a now debatable fact. Ralph slowly became less and less active, and his death was predicited by the other parents. This turned out to be a reliable diagnositc and at roughly 22:00 on 22/05/04 Ralph was spotted 'resting' at the top of the bowl. His death was quickly confirmed. Ralph died during a TV IQ test, some thought that he could not cope and simply died from the embarrassment of being the stupidest fish in the bowl, while others thought that he did so well in the test that he had nothing left to learn in this world so simply decided to pass on. The customary burial at followed, and Ralph was no more.
