i immediately missed having a little fishy around when i moved back to suphan, so today rob and i went to the fish place and i picked up two new goldfish. i decided against the beta fish this semester cuz i wanted something shinier and more active and...gosh, i dunno, i just got into the store and the goldfish looked real perfect. i've already experienced a fish fight and i'm ready for something new.
i had only thought about getting one fish, but then rob mentioned something about getting multiple fish. ooh, i hadn't even considered that option! i grabbed a tank the same size as the one i already own and asked the guy if i could put two of these medium-sized goldfish in the tank together.
"die!" he said. you can! after some incredulous looks and questions from me, i finally believed him and decided on getting two of those goldfish with biggish bellies and pretty double fins. an orange one and a white one. the guy came over with a bucket of water and that fish net to get the little guys out. instead of going through the shenanigans of him trying to get the fish, trying to pick out the exact one i want, blah blah blah, he just handed me the net. YES THAILAND.
fish and a bag of rocks in hand, i asked him how much. forty baht, he said. the rocks were 20 baht, which meant the fish together were 20 baht. sixty seven cents for two fish. YES THAILAND. but then he pointed to a tank and an oxygen thingy. ummm...do i need one of these? he mimed fish death. yes, i do need one of those, so he hooked it up.
brought everything home, put water back in the tank, got it all set up, and welcomed my two new roommates to their new home.
the cage is def too small, btw. i dunno what fish store guy was talking about. friends need a bigger home.
good luck to your new room mates...
