So, news on Eleanor.
Both front calipers had to be replaced, as does her converter. So there's no creaking sound upon breaking anymore. They had to order the converter in, so that will be fixed next week. The best part is that it was all covered under the warranty I have. So it really only cost my deductable ... a very small fraction of the price.
Way back to when I moved. One of the fish - Becca - went to fishy heaven. She started doing this floating thing for a while, but then she'd swim off, only to end up floating a short time later. When the kink in her back became permanent, such that "swimming off" was too difficult and she was floating far more than swimming, I decided to send her off. So I am left with one solitary fishy. Sarah is doing well, swimming and eating as before.
