Let us review.
We bought 3 fish in October. Nemo, Gubs, and Jeffrey Jr. Nemo and Gubs both died within 72 hours (presumably because you're supposed to run your aquarium with NO fish in it for a few days before adding fish...I found out post-mortem). Jeffrey Jr. lived a long and happy life until December when he died of an unknown illness--we're still waiting on the coroner's report. We also lost another fish named Nemo about 36 hours after we purchased him. I'm guessing that the name is cursed. Joining the ranks of the dead are Walter and Dolly, who died over Thanksgiving break.
The true survivors, Shark and Turtle, are happily swimming in their tank to this day. Apparently, they have found the secret of life at the Edwards's household. They even survived the entire two weeks while we were gone for Christmas break, living with only the automatic feeder and Vern the Fern to keep them company. They are an inspiration to us all.
In celebration, two more fish were bought today: Toodles and Kanye. And yes, Kanye is a black fish. I had to do something--I read the other day that Kanye West dubbed himself "the voice of our generation." Newsflash, Kanye (the rapper, not the fish): You are not my voice.
Next post--Christmas presents!
