Hi Michael,
The very same thing happened to me with my first set of 'real fish'. It was a very sad event for me. I too got attached to my first fish and felt like I lost something very close to me.
BUT you have to rebuild. Those first fish started the fire inside of you and ignited your passion for fish. It was just the start. You have your entire life to build many aquariums and meet and care for new fish.
Try to not loose hope and give the new fish a chance. Try not to compare them to your old fish, they are different and will eventually find their own little nook in your heart!
Good luck and please keep us posted here!
