The other three were doing great ... until ... last week, one went missing (aka Brucey) ... Brucey was rather small compared to his "friend" Wally, who is a larger kissing fish (kiss of death! So I blamed him for) ... for a week now, Brucey has been no where to be found ... so one would be led to believe that "someone ate their friend for food"! We looked everyday, several times a day for Brucey - but to no avail ... I was really puzzled and we all came to the conclusion that Wally (biggest fish in the tank) ate Brucey! We had actually settled to this over the weekend ... I went to the tank several times, looked very closely at Wally, and to me he just appeared larger all of a sudden! All the more reason to believe the horrible thing he had done! ... well, LeAnna had a friend over to play after church yesterday, and while playing, Ms. Vovie discovered a rock (so she thought) laying in between the tank and the couch ... we looked closer ... IT WAS BRUCEY!!! ON THE FLOOR ... OUTSIDE OF THE TANK!!! WHAT?!?!?!?
Ok, how does this happen?! I'm so confused ... huge tank, lid always closed except for feeding time ... HOW?!?! I've since spoke with several fish owners who have all said, "he jumped out of the tank" ... WHAT?! Wouldn't I have seen that? A fish jumping OUT of the tank (again, which is only opened while feeding for just a few short seconds) ... oh well ... there he lay in all his glory! Poor Brucey ... plunged to his death! At least he didn't get eaten ... at least one mystery solved ... now to only wonder "when" he jumped!
Oh what fun! Now, on to the sharks ... anticipating their arrival ... I'll post pics once they are here.
Mysterious Day,
Tammy
