Fish Tales

Ok, so the last fish has died.  Now, I'd like to say that I'm not really bothered by this.  And I truly don't think that I am.  But apparently my subconscious would like to raise a challenge to that statement, because I spent all night last night dreaming about fish. 

I dreamed that I came downstairs to find a brand new, huge aquarium filled with beautiful fish of all kinds.  And then suddenly I knocked it over!  And I spent the rest of the night searching for fish all over the room.  The carpet was a bright, multi-coloured tapestry, and everywhere I looked there were fish of all sizes and colours, gasping for breath.  I just kept picking them up and putting them into water.  Eesh.

We still have a voucher for replacement fish.  But I seriously wonder whether we should bother.  We've tried Betta fish and Paradise fish, both reputed to be hearty little creatures.  We have yet to try a basic goldfish, and I'm willing to give it a go.  But it seems maybe the right thing to do, at least from the perspective of the fish population, is to give it up.  What's your vote?  Leave a comment and help us decide!
