Go Fish

You’ve seen posts about Tanner’s obsession with fish.  Well, he’s got a birthday party coming up, thought I’d give a little fishy to each kid.  Then they could drop it off in the near by pond on the way home, or raise it.  Cute, no?

Anyone could raise a goldfish, easy peasy.

So our driver went out and got us 20 of these little guys for $6 US dollars.  They were incredibly exotic, every kind of goldfish you could think of.  The kind with the bulging eyes, the kind with the redish brain on top, calico ones & double finned goldfish.   Beautiful, stunning fish.

Our driver, Mr. Hu, confirmed how easy it was to raise these fish.  He shared stories of catching little bugs in the water to feed his goldfish when he was a child growing up in Shanghai.  So surely fish food in a packet would be easy as heck.

He even dropped off an air pump for them.  I only had to keep them alive for a short time until the party.  No prob.

After a week, one by one, they all met their maker.  Nice.  All 20 of them.
