lol viper that reminds me of a time i worked at a local pet shop over a weekend. a elderly lady purchased a gold fish on the thursday. By Sunday he had rolled belly up.
she brought it to the shop owner I i heard the conversation going along the lines of
"My fish died"
"i am sorry. would you like another?"
"ýes please and this time a healthy one"
"Umm, the fish was healthy when you brought it, what did you do?"
"well you see, each morning I would feed him in the bowl you sold me and then give him some air"
"oh did i sell you a pump, you dont need a pump with a goldfish bowl?"
"no silly, i just catch him in the net, pick it up for a few minutes so he gets a few mouthfulls and put him back. I did that for about 10 minutes a day, morning and night. They can hold their breath a long time you know!"
NOTE she wasnt allowed to get any more living things....i think it was suggested she gets a squeeky plastic mouse to look after.
