Wins best user name to be posting in this thread!
its a clear cut identification of the fact that every organism strives its best to spot out a change in their daily routine living standards , irrespective of the matter that they can end the time line of their life in doing that so. as in gold or other fishes .
but the difference is their the animals brought a very little change in their life after continuous hardship of centuries and gain a little…but humans achieve peaks after every such an action even a time of a moment…great humans!!!
Did you recently change his diet?
Either Goldie or Fishie did this when I was a kid. Went right down the back of the fridge.
Led by a little neon Jim Jones, I bet.
Sorry to hear about that. Years ago, we tried to keep some fish (so-called “feeder” fish, they were some sort of goldfish) and went through a long series of fungal infections eventually leading to the deaths of all of them, despite medicating them and cramming on tank chemistry like I was taking a college course.
On the topic of jumping out – long ago I read a newspaper account of “Karl the Wonder Trout.” He was an older trout kept as a pet at a Fish & Wildlife service breeding facility. He was apparently kept in one side of some kind of tank or trough system that had an aisle down the middle for workers to check on the fish fry, and the staff also had a tank of piranhas as pets. One morning the staff found Karl had leaped out of his enclosure – but entirely across the aisle into the piranha tank – where he had apparently proceeded to eat all the piranhas and appropriate their living space.
Tough month for goldfish.
Heard this tale on an episode of Nova: An octopus in an aquatic research lab would climb out of its tank at night, crawl across the room to the crab tank, eat the crabs and then crawl back to his own pad. The only reason the researchers figured out what was happening to their crabs was by leaving a camera in the lab overnight.
He jumped for joy!?
Possible last words:
"Its Bacon!!! Bacon, bacon, bacon… Oh wait, Goldfish can’t Fly…!
Heh. A google search turned up a similar story from the Weekly World News: “Tiddles the gobbles up tankful of killer piranhas”. (no mention if Tiddles had ever been abducted by aliens)
Was that the same octopus that used to shoot out the light? He didn’t like the light over his tank, so he used to shoot a stream of water at it until it broke. The staff had to camp out overnight to find out what was going on.
He also loved a Mr. Potato Head. It’s a pity Octopi* only live for a year; they are wonderfully intelligent.
*Don’t tell me. I don’t care if it’s octopi or octopodes, or anything like that. It’s octopi in my head, and platypii, too, because it’s funnier.
Don’t think so. I probably would have remembered that.
Here! I found it - it was Otto.
Kudos.
I used to have a couple tetras (Pete & Gladys) who loved diving to the bottom of the tank and swimming for all their worth upwards. They’d do this all day long, day after day. (Really, what else was there to do?) More than a couple times, they overshot the rim and ended up on the floor. (Tetras typically aren’t noted for superior intelligence.) So I got a lid for the aquarium. Unfortunately, when my ex-wife opened the lid slat to feed them, she’d forget to close it. One morning we came downstairs to an empty tank, and two dried out fish carcasses on the floor. One of the reasons she’s now my ex-wife. (I’m not typically noted for forgiveness.)
I know that there are probably a thousand reasons why you divorced her, but this post makes me laugh. I mean, it sounds like you broke up with her over two tetras!
"You broke my heart, sweetheart!
Truthfully, no. But it still makes for a good story. And keeps the legend alive of Despicable Me.
Yo I just got this “yo yo botia” it ended up killing my beta so I put it in its own tank. Soon after living with a beta its like all of the fishes them learned to be bad the goldfishes are messin with the tiger barbs the barbs eatin each other , I dunno who merked the two fancy guppies to the point that all hell broke loose…
Long story short got about 4 tanks up everyone is in there Own holding cell/detention centre…as I’m typing now this bitch trying jump out again , why is my barb Tryna jump out his tank??
…and shit.
…and, in late breaking news, koeeoaddi’s fish Darryl is still dead.
Investigators have finally concluded that there is no possible way he could have died by trying to learn to jump a BIC lighter as a circus trick…
