My Fish Tank

So Jake wanted fish.  We all know what that means.  So, I have taken over this tank.  It's in his room and he likes to pretend that he feeds them, but they are constantly swimming around like they are starving and if there weren't a top to the tank i'm pretty sure they'd leap into my arms when I walked by.  They love me.

We had two little algae eaters.  They aren't scientifically named that, it's what I called them.  They have disappeared.  Gone.  No remnants at all.  So, yesterday I went to the store and bought some more fish. It was Thursday so I knew my selection was going to be great.  That's how much I love this tank.  I have become knowledgeable as to when Petsmart gets their fish shipments.  Sad, really.

So I got three Glofish.  I think they're some kind of hybrid radioactive fish.  They are bright colors.  I picked a pink, yellow and orange one.  On the way home I thought about names.  Three fish, need three names.  I thought of Larry, Mo and Curly, but that was stupid.  Then I came up with Alvin, Simon and Theodore.  Genius!  Mostly because I also got a hass of an algae eater that affectionately became known as Dave.  I have to admit that I had to look it up online because for the life of me I couldn't remember the guys name that lived with the chipmunks. 

The guy at the pet store told me that Dave will grow really fast and that he really needs a 55+ gallon tank.  Our ten gallon tank hasn't exactly been the fountain of youth.  It's more like the place fish go to die.  I'm taking my chances that poor Dave won't live to his 55+ gallon aquarium size.  BUT, if he does make it, apparently you can take him to some local fish stores and they'll want him.  Who knew there was such a market for ginormous algae eaters named Dave.

Alvin, Simon and Theodore are too spastic to take a picture.
