a piece of shocking news in the Morbach family

Posted in Main Page at 3:37 am by Renato

The last of my adult fish was found dead on Sep20th, 2006, at around 10pm.. There is no way to know when exactly was the death, only thing we know is , this happened between Sep19th 9:30pm when I last fed them and Sep20th, 10pm when I took a peek at them.

What’s left now is 2 teenager fish. Again, there is no way to know if the recent-passed-away happens to be their parent. In fact, there is no clear evidence that the 2 are even brothers(or sisters?). mmmm, what a mess is this little fish bowl.

Anyway, here I am offering my deepest condolence to their owner, who raised them day by day, and who happens to be myself; My second deepest condolence to the deceased’s suspected offsprings, whom I doubt would care.

The story goes like this: One beautiful day I passed by a pet store, after a careful browsing-around, decided the only thing buyable at the moment is 2 pairs of fish.

I put them in a big wine glass(BIG!). Inside the water I also put a plant. Soon one died. However surprisingly in return, I got fish babies.

My memory is vague, but there was about 3 batches of babies in this whole time. The current 2 survivors is from the last batch. There were 9.One time during the process of changing water, 5 babies were gone. To the stomach of the adults. I swear if I caught anyone in the act I’d open their stomach and took them out again. But he (she ) was fast.

Anyway, soon in order to protect the babies I had experimented with one baby—transferred it to another bowl with plant. Soon there was a mysterious missing. There was no body in the bowl. It was gone. (Adubcted by aliens?)

As time goes by the fish died (of natural causes?) one after another. Only the recent-passed-away, and the 2 survivors still remained strong.

Life seemed to have stabilized and going tranquil for a long while. They are growing stronger and more resistant to hardships with their owner feeding them on an irregular bases and constantly too lazy to change water.

On a beautiful Autumn day, the last adult finally gave his(her)the last breath of life. He(She) sacrificed himself(herself) to make a statement to whoever is responsible to changing water. The message is clear: Change our bloody water or I will die!

Today the owner has already done with her grieving time. When I ask the owner, she said, “I am seriously hoping that the 2 remains are of the opposite sex and they are into each other so there is more babies coming.”
