Fish Check In

But they don't check out.

We seem to be the black hole of fishdom.

Erika wanted a fishbowl for her birthday back in the Summer. She got the glass bowl with 2 feeder fish. Fred 1 and Fred 2. Fred 1 (or maybe it was Fred 2) decided he wanted to go to the big fish bowl in the sky. He jumped out of the bowl (that was on the higher kitchen counter) and I found him on the floor. A good 5 foot jump. Without a bungee cord. I put him back in the bowl. He swam sideways for a while. He was then flushed in to the Atlantic Ocean.

The Fred that is left is slightly nutso. Zips this way and that. Not sure where he thinks he is. Maybe he thinks the ocean??

I decided to surprise Erika this weekend with some new fish. A white one. And 2 Neon Tetra which are small fish but not necessarily tiny. They joined Fred 2 (or maybe Fred 1?) in the fish bowl.

One big happy family.

I went to feed them this afternoon. Did a quick head count. 1.2.3. Hmmmmmmm. Checked again. 1.2.3. Short one Tetra. Looked in the rocks. Looked on the floor. No fishie. I am thinking Fred 1 (or 2?) had some Sushi for lunch. Cannibalism at its best. Or maybe FISHibalism?

Luckily, the Diva has not noticed she is a fish short. I am thinking a trip to the fish store may be in order in the near future.
