What happened to my sister's fish?

[Trekker4747]

When I had an aquarium a few years ago I never changed the water in that sucker. I had the bubbler/filter thing of course -a fairly heavy duty one- I had a couple of algae eaters and a couple of other devices in there that "maintained" the water for me. (For the record it was a fresh-water tank.) Every so often I'd add in a replenishment for the chemicals.

I figured that God never comes down, pulls all of the fish out of the ocean, while he scrubs down the rocks so why should I do it?

If some algae built-up on the glass I'd reach in with a brush and scrub it down a bit. The fish I had survived in their very nicely and we had a very low mortality rate. When DID the fish die? When I changed the fucking water that first time. I lost my favorite fish that way.

Indeed!

I'm shocked - shocked - that LaserBaba hasn't entered this thread to post a veritable bouillabaisse of fish puns yet. I can think of half a dozen usable ones off the top of my head to answer the OP.

Give it time, give it time...I'll get there eventually, you don't need to lob(ster) insults at me. Don't be so crab-by!

That's more like it...

If it were made from the fish's perspective then this could be quite an interesting TV show for at least half a season.
