A fish called Fish

Meet Fishy. It has been a few years now since our first pet, Mr. Hope, died. Mr. Hope was a beta, and he provided a good first opportunity for us to work together to care for the needs of a dependent living creature. Now, we have once again adopted an animal into our family. Fishy or "Issshhh", as Isaiah calls him, was one of the few fish from the local pet store that can live in unfiltered water. The lady at the store said that these goldfish could actually live up to 6 years! I responded that I was hoping for a 6 month fish. She didn't think that was very funny. Fishy lives on our bookshelf - just out of reach of certain curious little hands, but low enough for certain curious little eyes. He's been with us for just over 24 hours now, and seems to be getting on ok.
