Attack of the Frog

Aug 06, 2008 10:30

On my desk next to my computer monitor I have a little five gallon hexagonal fish tank. It was originally filled with a swarm of little spotty and stripy fish named danios. Overseeing the swarm was one giant striped danio. In addition to the swarm was a plecostomus catfish, and a small african dwarf clawed frog.

In the beginning the frog, who was named Hermes, would share the fish flakes with the swarm. Eventually he graduated to nibbling the algae disks I put in for the cat fish. From there he grew to being able to fit the entire disk in his mouth, forcing me to put two in. One for him, one for the catfish.

Now only Hermes, the giant danio, and the catfish remain as he's graduated into eating the little fishies one by one.
just this morning I saw him with the giant danio's head in his mouth, the danio trying to wriggle free and eventually escaping.
Seeing it I viewed how I'm going to die. Eventually he's going to grow so large that he climbs out of the tank and swallows me head first.

You've all been warned. Once he's big enough to devour me, none of you will be safe either.
