My Noble Return, and I brought fish.
i'm back, i guess.
i have fish.
10 gallon tank.
6 fish.
3 little orange ones.
3 big green ones.
feeder fish.
rosies.
minnows.
some look like dace.
i think there are two species.
these fish, they have a pretty grim history.
its not something you'd find in some little kid's 'bedtime stories about fish' book.
random fact: cannibalism causes mental deterioration and insanity.
like mad cow disease.
these fish, there were probably 40 of them.
the tank was about 15 gallons, thats really crowded.
i think it would be like taking 40 people and putting them in my garage - a little elbow room, but the smell would start to suck ass.
there was no substrate.
no plants.
the fish weren't even fed.
if you saw fish eating, it would be either groups of two or three ripping apart the body of a dead fish, or a single fish picking out feces that floats by.
it took these fish almost an hour to figure out flake food is actually edible.
this one little orange one, it took a bite, and swam off with the food spewing from its mouth.
it went back after a few seconds, and nibbled for a bit.
the other fish gathered around, staring intently.
the little one, it ripped off a bigger chunk and swam a little closer to a corner.
the others, they went in, they really started ripping the flake up.
they moved off to the other flakes that had settled all over the bottom.
the tank was scoured in an oddly short period of time.
and then i put more in.
just about five minutes ago, two little orange ones were having sex.
now a little orange one is having sex with the biggest of the green ones.
i think one of them is dying.
one of the little orange ones, its kind of floating around all lopsided like.
dessert.
i think now that they've been fed properly and to their stomach's fullest, they're focusing on sex.
i haven't seen fish touch each other like this in my life.
its like some aquatic orgy.
the sperm will clog the filter.
and yes, fish have sex (for all you nay-sayers).
these are live-bearing fish, they have sex, they give birth to babies.
they sometimes eat these babies, i wouldn't put it past this bunch.
it should be interesting to watch them screw more tonight.
i wonder if that little orange one will get screwed to death.
and then eaten.
along with any sperm that made it up to the eggs.
i'll laugh if that happens.
fare well, my brethren.
