Normality can finally been restored to the tank as the fish I won at Langley Fete 2 years ago has finally died.
I won it on the cocnut shy, I didnt think it through and took it home. Now, I was just going to put it in a bowl upstairs but I was told that you CAN put goldfish in with tropical fish. Only, if you do then they can never go back to cold water. They can never go back (sinister tone)
Well, at first it was a joy, it got on with all the other fish and looked happy. Then it grew 3 times its size almost over night and turned into a Hannibal Lecter. I thought the tank was looking a bit sparse so I trotted off to Pet City and bought 14 neon tetras. The bastard ate them all in 24 hours. He also munched his way through 6 guppies, 3 of those minging goldfish with the big eyes and I think he ate my plec.
Needless to say I learnt and stopped putting new fish in , so the tank has been a bit shit with just a big bastard goldfish, a boring silver shark (so boring I never even named it), Ian Beale the eel (who spends all his time under the gravel) and a talking cat fish that plays dead all day.
I got a customer to scoop it out for me yeaterday early doors (I couldnt find the net and am extremely gay when it comes to touching dead fish). Shortly afterwards a man came up to me....
"I hear the goldfish is dead"
(Im worried that he is going to accuse me of murder)
"can I see it?"
I explain how I flushed it down the toilet
"Its just I wanted to make sure it was dead, I hated that bastard".
Seems he gave everyone the evil eye whilst they were peeing (the fish tank is in the gents-well, t'wixt gents and pool room).
So, come Sunday I'm going to buy a whole load of new fish. Nice ones that dont kill and maybe dont watch cock so much.
