Once upon a time, a previous resident of this dwelling thought to themselves - "I know - let's dig a hole at a randomly chosen spot in the backyard, dress it with black plastic, pour in water - and add loads of fish!"
Said and done. As you can see here...
The time came for this previous resident, who we shall not name, to move on.
They proceeded to discover the great difficulty involved in relocating fish - let alone entire hole in ground, which they referred to (rather generously) as "pond."
Solution: Leave fish in pond; leave little tub of fish-food and list of care instructions - and make a run for it.
Thus hubby and I ended up with, what we think is in the neighbourhood of 40, fish.
And a sign on fridge saying "Feed the Fish!!" - as gentle reminder for self. Fish need to eat even if raining outside and do not feel like going out.
By the way, it is not true that fish only remember anything for 30 seconds. Is myth.
They always remember that seeing me with fish-food tub means they will soon eat. I can tell, as they open their mouths and start swimming around in circles like mad.
Like mad fish?

Always nice with some pets! =) Altoh maybe nice to pick them yourself rather than getting stuck with them...
