Fish Gods Must Be Appeased!
Apr. 15th, 2009 10:31 amApparently, the fish gods demand a sacrifice. Though Bob[3] is alive and well (and the ten gallon tank has never been sparklier,) I came home yesterday to discover one of my beloved tetra stuck to the biofilter, dead as the proverbial doornail. Now there are six.
What's strange about the tetra is that, even dead, the fish had beautiful color. The neon of its blue glittered at the bottom the toliet bowl and its red stripe glowed vibrantly as I gave it the traditional "Gucci, gucci, you were a good fish" benediction before burial at sea, as it were. Usually, when fish die, they loose their color or their eyes might cloud over. Not this fella. S/he looked great... I mean, other than the being dead and unmoving thing.
Do you suppose fish go into comas?
Perhaps it was the uploading of this somewhat smug, albeit shaky video that caused the gods to wreck their vengence upon my show of hubris.
