Fish
I started out with a Betta my wife had brought home and I named Freddy. About six Freddies later, I now have a 10Gallon aquarium that is home to Freddy number 7, two catfish, and two plocostomous. The fish don't ride for free, the bottom feeders are in there to clean the tank as well as amuse me. Rough deal, but there you have it. The driving force behind my sudden intrest in fish (lookin' at fish vice eatin' fish anyway) is my grandson. He likes to see the "fishies," and who am I to disappoint him??

ahhhhhhh ..
those fishies ..
what we do for the young 'uns.
i'm resisting the urge to start another fishtank. i had maintained one for 5 years cause my youngest won a goldfish 5 1/2 years ago. it died last fall ..
I tried putting fish in a small tank in my son's room but one mean one kept eating all his friends.
The hannibal fish ended up living for about 5 years.
fish
are cool
but they suck
at things like 'fetch'
and how safe can you feel knowing the place is being watched by a guppie?
nah -- i'll take a mother grizzly over a fish any day
/t.
Been there done that, one fish turns into half a dozen then you have to get a bigger aquarium, lights, heater, filters,air bubbles, plants and guess who gets to do the cleaning, moi.
Then eventually after about 4 years and many fish replacements they all end up going to fishie heaven. ♡
You're a good grandfather. The kid is lucky. And, so are you.
yeah, and, gosh. Get hungry at nigt for a snack, all te stores are closed, just wander in there with your rifle (you know...the one the prarie dogs watch you shoot with) and pick off a couple snackies
d=))
(that must be where they get the saying? shooting fish in a barrel?)
They are soothing to watch and soothing can be a good thing.
once i bought a three dollar chicken. then came the feed the waterers the pens the runs the electrolytes the livestock dust the carriers the coops...thousands of dollars ...all started with 3
ive never had a fish tank. i bought some aquatic frogs once. but i killed them with city tap water -too much chlorine.
youre a good grand dad!
Chickens would be a bad idea here - huskies love chicken...

Thanks for the blog visit!
The worship service I led on the 13th went really well :)
I've always admired the plecostomus...I wish that someone would come up with a large model that could survive on dust bunnies...
I need to get a new Betta. He will be Pete the 8 (I think). One just hasn't jumped out at me yet. So the fishbowl sits empty.
