The Fish

We have been the proud owners of about 9 fish in the last 8 or 9 months.  Some have only lasted a few days others a few months.  I'm not sure why we keep buying them other than I have guilt about having spent the money on an aquarium, rocks, a plant, a fish hideout, fish food, water conditioner, filters, etc.  If we have all the stuff we might as well have fish, right?  Anyway we were down to one fish for a couple months and he seemed pretty lonely.  He would sit in the fish hideout the whole time unless it was time to eat.  I took the kids to the pet store last Friday to let them each pick out a fish.  We now had 4 fish.  The next morning we woke up to about 30 fish!  Yes, one of the fish we bought the day before was apparently VERY pregnant.  We all had a good laugh about it, but now I'm thinking we are crazy because we have 30+ (we have not yet been able to count them all) fish in our little aquarium.  Needless to say we definitely got our moneys worth.  I paid for 3 fish and ended up with 30!  Oh, and Spike LOVES to sit and watch the fish.  Of course he tries to get them but can't! :) 
There is no way to catch a picture of these new baby fish because they are very tiny.  We'll see how long they survive.
