Last weekend on our way back from General Conference my roommates and I decided to get some fish. We had had an empty fish bowl just sitting in our apartment and the plan was to get fish someday but we had all been pretty busy. So we figured right not then? We got a cheapy goldfish, Bruce, and a fan-tailed goldfish, Phibi - short for amphibian. Bruce died Sunday night and Phibi died Tuesday. Cause of death is unsure but we have our hypothesis. We knew we had a 90 day warranty so we decided to put the in the freezer to preserve them. Crazy I know; you're probably thinking why on earth would we do that? I don't really have a good answer...
Anyway we had been planing on going back and getting our new fish and Kristin was nice enough to do that tonight. She called me while she was there and there was a little mix up about return policy and we weren't sure on what we were going to get so we told Kristin so surprise us! She got home and she got two goldfish and a crab! We sat there thinking of names and decided on Sharkbait, Oo-haha and Cosmo the crab. Well after letting them sit there for a while Cosmo started attacking Sharkbait and pinching them. We decided that the sooner we got them in the fish bowl and fed them the sooner the better. We were all sitting there staring at the fish bowl and all of a sudden Sharkbait swam right up to Cosmo and then we all screamed.
Don't worry, no fish were harmed. Well from what we can tell. So we changed Sharkbait to CrabBait because we thought it more fitting. Cosmo's name doesn't really reflect his personality but we like it too much to change it. Hopefully these fish will live longer than our last fish. I'll keep you posted.
