Aquarium Day
Today I have to do a water change on the forty-gallon (among other things) before I can hit the road. The aquarium phase for me started when my friend got a Beta fish, and I started buying aquariums, and they just kept getting bigger and bigger – I even thought about getting a 70-gallon.
My friend once pointed out a spot and said an aquarium would look really cool there, and eventually a quite large one did end up in there.
These days, nobody seems to pay much attention to the fish (poor things), but on somewhat rare occasions all but one fish of a particular kind will die, and I sort of feel bad for the only one that's left, so I pick up a couple buddies of its own kind from Petsmart; have to be careful with that though because transference of ick will kill all the fish.
I suppose I'm also guilty of not paying a whole lot of attention to the fish, but I still care about them, feed them, and do the water changes about every three weeks.
