Another fishy one
Friend of mine a while back kept tropical fish
but didn't know anything about them - he just
bought whatever looked nice. This caused a few
intra-tank conflicts as you may guess.
One day his girlfriend saw a fish that she
thought charmingly ugly and bought it for the
tank. And yes, it was a piranha.
Cue utter carnage next morning as he awoke to
find that the Japanese Fighting fish had been
reduced to a stubble, the baby shark bitten in
half, and the loach hiding under a rock in
abject terror.
I went round there that evening to watch the
utter chaos as the surviving fishies were
menaced by said Piranha, who mysteriously
vanished a day later. Beats any screensaver.
