Swiper and Whitie of the fab 5

The fab five....

Last week Swiper died. And just today Whitie died. Who would have thought fish could be so hard to keep alive?  Our poor boys (mostly Keaton) gets crushed every time his fish friends die. 

So, I took another trip to the fish store today and stocked up again on knowledge and products to see if I could keep our last survivors of the original five alive -- Brownie 1 and Brownie 2.  To save the day and try to soften the blow of Whities' passing I brought home 5 new little fish. 

The guy at the pet store took his time to show me which fish could co-exist well with our gold fish. The moment my boys had been waiting for came where we could set them free in the tank and bring peace again to the tank and our home. That moment was less than perfect however. The second those little fish hit the water our lazy gold fish went on the hunt like crazy piranas!  Now Keat is unable to sleep because those poor little fish have to hide in the trees if they hope to survive the night.
