Not a Good Week to be a Fish
The other day we bought Xiaoou an aquarium and a fish to raise, but it died within 24 hours because we probably put it in the tank too fast (you're supposed to wait a few days for the tank to grow bacteria and such). Then today I went into work and found that Commodore Baron von Fishington had departed the DOC Group for the great Thai Rice Patty in the Sky.
I cleaned the Commodore's tank out today, and I'm going to let it sit for a few days before trying to introduce some new fish. I might go with something besides a Betta this time, since I would like to be able to have more than one, although Winter Break may prove to be the end of whatever variety of sea life I obtain.

Oh, that's too bad! *sniff* Well, next time I buy you a present I'll get you something a little more permanent. The Baron had such a cool name, too! But you should definitely get a different kind this time, since having more than one fish is more fun. And I can take care of whatever fish you buy over winterbreak anyway, unless of course you get a killer whale or pirana or something and then I refuse.
