Gluttony Has It's Price

Here is one of our vicious gold fish admiring himself in the glass.
Here is a closer look at the fiend.We had been planing to perhaps donate these Vicious Fishes to a Friend's Fish Pond and be fish free in our future home in the woods. But upon further reflection we thought maybe we would still appreciate having them around. But the tank was seeming just a little empty, and we decided to add a few. The Fuzz's Sweetie purchased a couple more little goldies, and the fuzz thought to grab a couple more.
At the Fish Store he saw some cool little Cat Fish, and knowing from experience that they could live in community with those goldfish, he thought they might be a nice addition, a little variety. There was a brief moment of concern regarding their size, but it wasn't like they were guppies or something.
Everything was fine until this morning when we found this situation. This glutton seems to have bitten off more than he can chew here. Yes he has his little snack, but can't seem to get it down. I suppose if he were a snake, he could just unhinge the jaws and it would be yum-yum time. But alas, this is not the case. We thought of perhaps helping him out a little, but The Fuzz says he's only getting what he deserves. I guess we'll just wait, and let nature take it's course here. It's been all day so far and no change. We'll let you know how it comes out- or doesn't come out.




Regarding our latest Mystery Pix, both Levi and Woodie were on the right track. It is a closeup of the hub of this old rake The Fuzz saw here in the bushes. But of course, close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

The Fuzz's Sweetie thinks they were close enough. Maybe, but The Fuzz insists on maintaining high standards here, so, no Noprize. But many thanks to all who participate.

The fish is just a pig. He gets regular meals.
