Fish update

Meant to do this sooner, thanks for the reminder, Jamie! Well, the extra food didn't seem to harm the fish, so we thought we were good. And Bryan switched containers and cleaned the bowl, added fresh water and conditioner and was letting it sit for a bit. A few hours later, he went to transfer the fish- who,of course, flopped out into the sink. So Bryan tries to block off the garbage disposal with his hand, and the fish JUMPS over his hand...into the disposal. Bryan goes to get some tongs to get him out, and the drawer is stuck. So he goes to find something else by the stove...and the dishwasher starts draining. HOT water, of course. Well, he immediately turned on the cold water, stuck his hand in and got the fish out. But, it seems the damage had been done. He laid on the bottom of the bowl the rest of the day and then was found floating on the top upside down the next morning. Poor
fish.

Seriously??? The poor fish would have probably preferred an overdose of food and nasty water than to have to deal with a waterboarding experience in your garbage disposal!!

BUT...the silver lining is that there is a bowl with water already ready for the next fish!
