The blurr fish.
I'm not usually a fish person.....but I want an aquarium with one of these!!! Are they hard to care for?
I don't think anybody has successfully cared for them in captivity.
Oh.
I might not be the one to buck the trend. When I was 15 my mom went to london for 2 weeks, and left me at home. She said to watch the fish, and feed the cat.
Well, the cat meows when she's hungry, and generally exists in your same space. The fish.....exist. The problem is, I forgot the fish exist. So I didn't remember to feed them for almost 2 weeks. Then 3 days before she came back I was watching TV, and suddenly remembered. I was like "OH FUCK!!! THE FISH!!!" And then instead of feeding them with a light sprinkling, my thought process is that they need extra food. So the problem is, they were still alive, but really they were already doomed. They weren't eating, and they were dead within a day. When my mom saw how much food I put in there, she said it was as if I put a dump truck worth of food in their water for 1 day.
So maybe I won't get these fish. Granted, yes, that was over 25 years ago, and I'm a lot more responsible in my 40s, but still. Maybe I'm not the guy who should be responsible for these exotic fish.
