Wow! Two updates within a week....
Yeah, life kinda sucks right now, so I am going to update about my fish. I've been doing a lot of homework lately to occupy my mind, and when I say "do homework", I mean "stare at my fish". Thus, I've been noticing a lot of peculiar habits they have.
They say that when two people live together, they develop similar habits. It must be true for fish, too. I would not be suprised if each of them did their own weird things, but they seem to synchronize their movements, and to have developed the same very weird habits. Now that I think about it, these many not actually be weird habits. Maybe all fish do these things, and I was just ignorant. All you fish mommies and daddies, let me know...
Both of my fish like to swim vertically. Most often, they face up toward the surface of the water and move about sideways, never righting themselves. I've even seen Baxter (my albino goldfish) do vertical flips while swimming like this. I keep waiting for one of those dolphin-like tornado spins.
I just noticed that they were swimming (normally) in circles around the bowl with Bailey following Baxter. Maybe she wants something from him? LOL? This has been going on for like 5 minutes now.
Also, I don't think they eat. Well, I know they do, but this is really weird. When I put food in the bowl in the morning, the don't touch it, but later in the day, they start to suck on the rocks in the bottom of the bowl. Maybe some sort of fish food residue has collected on them, and they like that better than the real food? Any ideas guys?
Both of them like to go to the top of the bowl and they appear to be drinking the water. One day, I heard this faint little popping sound like bubbles popping, and Bailey was doing this drinking thing. The next day, Baxter was doing it with her. They are doing it now, actually. I didn't even think fish drank water. If they are drinking, why do they go to the surface of the water to drink, when water is everywhere around them? It kinda seems like they might be trying to breath air, but I would like to think that's not the case...
Well, enough about my fish. I sincerely hope all is better in the world for all of you than it is for me right now.
Must. Sleep.
