100 Days of Happiness - Day 57

[dizzojay]

He's been with us since 1998, the sole survivor of the stock that came with our aquarium when we bought it for Mr Dizzo's 30th birthday.

He's never really had a name as such, he's variously been known as Fishy, Gonky, Spud, Matey, Chummy and Wiggle, and a combination of all or any of these at various times.

He's currently living alone as his last friend went to fishy heaven about two months ago and we've been debating what to do with the aquarium; do we keep it as is and restock it with some friends for little Fishy? Do we wait for little Fishy to follow his friend to fishy heaven and then restock the tank with a different type of fish, eg tropical?  Or do we wait, again, for little Fishy to make the trip to fishy heaven and then do something really off the wall with the tank, like get some little reptiles?

But whatever happens, little Fishy/Gonky/Spud/Matey/Chummy/Wiggle is always there at the end of the landing to greet me in the mornings waiting patiently for his pinch of fish flakes, and he's nice to have around.  I'll miss him when he's gone!

Wow, 16 is a damn respectable age.

That's a very respectable age, do you think he's a fish vampire? Draining all the other fish of their life force!!!!!!

That's it, you need a pair of dashingly handsome hunters to look into it.

I had no idea fish lived that long!

I love the different names instead of one name, variety is the spice of life ;)

It's not bad, is it? There are records apparently of goldfish living up to about thirty!

Hmmmmm - that's a distinct possibility.
Now, *pats pockets* where did I put Dean's phone number ... ?

I've read records of goldfish living to about 30!!!
At this rate, he might outlive us :)

Absolutely, and he doesn't seem to mind :)
