A Fish Tale - Update #3

well, i officially give up! i don't know what else to do. apparently these fish are determined to die! how is it that i could have a one-eyed goldfish that i won at a grade school festival live in a dirty fish bowl on the back of my toilet for over a year when i was 8, but i can't keep these fish alive? between these fish and a dog that throws up nearly everyday (i'm convinced he's bulimic), i fear for my future children! is this a sign of poor parenting skills?

friday morning katy and i awoke to yet another dead fish. this time, one of the red, orange and black fish of different species had kicked the bucket. he was just floating upside down at the top of the bowl. i honestly thought that the last 2 were dead also, but they were just laying on the rocks...apparently trying to get as far away from the dead fish as possible. i removed the dead fish, flushed it, along with 2 others that were still in the other bowl, and cleaned out the water (and hopefully the curse). i think we should start making bets as to when the next one croakes! we could start a line in vegas for this! what would the over/under be, like 18 hours? as of this morning, the last 2 remaining red, orange and black fish of different species were swimming around as normal...but that was over 9 hours ago...anything could have happened by now! place your bets!
