What the heck! Where's Maximus? or The lament of a confused fish mama.
Just when I thought it wasn't possible for anything else to destract me from studying for finals...
One of my fish is gone.
I don't mean that it's dead and floating at the top,
or dead on the bottom,
or eaten by my other fish,
or jumped out and on my desk.
It's just gone.
I feel very stupid. I have looked on the top, on the bottom, and amongst the plants. I have looked for bones (other fish were hungry?). I have looked inside the intake tube just in case it died and got sucked up. I've even looked in the filtering system. I have looked in the other fishbowl, just in case. It's really not there. It was there and acting perfectly happy 24 hours ago. The other three seem fine, and the lid has been on the entire time, so far as I know.
My only guess is that either it was abducted by space aliens who know what I have said along about it being no ordinary fish, or else someone took it for a prank, in which case it had BETTER be ok, or else it died and one of my roomates flushed it and didn't tell me, which seems odd, since I am very attached to my fish.
So if anyone finds a lonely lost fish...

Did you mean to post that like nine times? We'll find Maximus. Remember, He and Cleopatra are gonna have babies!!! lol. sorry.
Sweetie, Maximus was a male neon tetra, cleopatra is going to be a male Betta (female betta's aren't pretty and nobody buys them) so I'm thinking that the chances of getting a baby...fish out of them are not good.
Don't make fun of my compulsive posting--I was upset at the time!! (in a hurry, but whatever)
