Those poor fish!
many many years ago my uncle fancied himself as a keeper of fish
he went out and dumped a few £££ on a massive tank alone (I’m talking back in the 80’s)
he tinkered with it for hours every day (my aunt became a fishy widow) and got so much advice on how to keep them
he slowly filled it with all kinds of pretty fish-he was the shops best customer for months
anyway,they sold him what looked like a large goldfish-he added it and all was well
until he came downstairs the next morning and there was only one,very bloated ’goldfish’ swimming round
it had eaten the rest!
he stormed down to the shop he’d got it from and they said that he seemed to know his stuff and they didn’t think he’d put it in with the rest of them!
he gave up after that and sold the tank (Im not sure what happened to that fish)
hinch will do what my ‘mate’ did-bought the smallest,cheapest tank she could (think large bowl at best) bought a bridge and some crappy plants,shoved 4 fish in it and invited my kids round to see ‘the pretty fish I bought for you to look at,seeing as nasty mummy won’t buy you any’ (we didn’t keep them as I don’t know a thing about them)
they died within the first 48 hours,she just laughed said ‘it’s only fish’ and went to buy some more
thats the reason we don’t speak anymore…
