  • Siamese Fish Flavored Dog Food...

    So I am working my butt off at both jobs, when at cash the other day, my Manager, a great woman I call Lee, is standing talking. AT the till we have a Betta in a half gallon tank (Which I personally clean every three days). He is a nice betta, friendly and people love him. he's on a large plastic clear cube which we take SPCA donations in.

    Wel,l the other day, Lee was talking to me when she turned and eyed the donation box. I guess she wanted to see how much was in it, cause she suddenly grabbed it and tipped it away from her to shake the change up.


    And Bob (Which is my name for ALL fighting fish)'s tank was on top of it.

    Needless to say, Lee was horrified as Bob's tank slid right off, turned upside down and splashed all over the counter, a container of little rawhide bones, and the floor. Immediately we both carefully got down and started trying to find the poor fish... and couldnt.

    We thought he'd flopped under the counter or a bird cage or something, when Lee looked into the container of bones.

    And there, amongst the rawhide was Bob, looking okay, if a little startled. so I scooped him out, and went and put him in one of the empty Tropical Tanks for now, so he can have a vacatoin.

    We had to write off the bones, though I told Lee we should label them "Siamese Fish Flavored Rawhide Bones" or something. She laughed. It was pretty funny at the time.

    PS - the fish is fine. I noticed we had a new guy up front now. Bob II (Bob I is in the tropical tank, looking quite happy at ruling it.)

    Those beta fish are tough little suckers! I had one back in college and that thing lived forever. They are the best for people who prefer low maintenance animals (like me).

    I'm glad Bob I is alright, though! I'm sure the whole ordeal was quite frightening for him.

      I'm quite glad that Bob I is okay, and yeah, those suckers can survive a lot, except for being with me, apparently.

        We had a beta, he tried to commit suicide by jumping out of his bowl but we saved him


        We could not save him the time my roommate was cleaning his bowl and he decided to jump out of the bowl we had him in and down the drain of the kitchen sink.

          When I was a kid, my brother had a coryadora (sp?--it looked kinda like a mini-catfish) that kept trying to commit suicide by jumping out of the tank. Once, we KNOW it was out for a good 30 minutes, but it survived. We ended up giving it to a neighbor, who gave it to another neighbor who worked at a pet store. Apparently it grew to be quite big!

            My betta, Lil' Douchebag (because he is angry and apparently hates everything because he puffs out his gills at any sign of outside movement) has been alive for two and a half years. Little bitch won't die. I think he's staying alive just to spite me.

              We once had a swordtail that jumped out of the tank, evaded capture for at least ten minutes (every time one of us caught him, he'd jump right out of our hands or the net), and managed to survive. He was still alive when we gave the tank and its occupants to our friends. Guess he was just too dumb to die.

                My beta stayed alive for a year before I went on vacation. My fish-sitter killed him, and replaced my pretty, vivid blue fish with an ugly mud-brown one that had splotches and rips in its fins. She thought I wouldn't notice....

                I couldn't give the replacement away, so I flushed him down the toilet and cried. After that, none of my betas would stay alive for more than a week, so I gave up. I think Fugly placed a death curse on my fishbowl.

                    Yes, and I felt horribly guilty about it for weeks. But he was ugly, and lethargic, and all beat up with patchy scales and torn fins, and anyway I didn't even buy him he was fobbed off on me to replace the fish I really loved!

                    Yeah, I suck, I know. If it makes me look any better, I bugged my family and friends to take him for about a week. They all took one look and said no thanks.
