My poor fish

[Riff Raff]

I couldn't feed my fish this morning, and I feel so bad because they were all waiting at the top of the tank when I switched the light on. They looked so upset when I had to put the food back in the container and walk away. I'm a bad fish mummy!! But the top glass was frozen to the tank and I would have broken it if I tried to lift it. I'm tormented by guilt and don't know how I'm going to get through the day.

how can fish look upset? They have 1 expression..
It's ok, I'm sure they'll be belly up by the time you get home.. Then you have cat food..

[zadok]

Is 'frozen' the right word? Must be cold in your place!

You are an awful person Riff Raff

Would a hairdrier thaw it out?

They're pathetic, innit?

We have a pond, with six (6) fish who are getting rather fat. If you even look like going near the pond, they all gather at TheOfficialFeedingSpot, and start chomping away at the surface.
Apparently, even though they've now learned about TheMagicalSustenanceThatFallsFromTheSky, that's about the limit of their intelligence, as their memory is too short to remember they've already eaten, and they (apparently) don't have a mechanism to tell them they're full, so you can keeping feeding them all day.

Still, they're purty to look at.

I had a friend at university that kept tropical fish. Every time one died, he pinned it by it's tail to the wall above the fish tank. Eventually there was quite a long line of mummified fish carcases. Grisly, but hard case too.

I am - thanks for the offer. How you gonna get in tho, or shouldn't I ask?

Actually, on second thoughts, those fish haven't done anything for me lately, and one of them was inconsiderate enough to die recently (still haven't found the body), so they can have a day of fasting.

Purpose? Purpose?



I dunno.

It was just... sort of amusing. And in keeping with the general mentalness of the household, which included such happenings as Fizzo going for a walk to the shops to buy a paper. Dressed in his full SCUBA outfit...

Mind you, he was a Biology student, who ended up doing something to do with fish. Maybe it was research.

Ha ha. We've just been issued with ginourmous welding gloves and a tack hammer to stop us using oxygen bottles for window breakage purposes.
