Here's a shot of the fish in the bathtub, looking angry. He mostly hid behind his flowerpot as he was REALLY displeased with the situation. The other catfish could not be photographed because they refused to come out of hiding so this will have to suffice.
The day was spent neurotically tolling Craigslist trying to find a new fish tank. It did not go well. First of all, Tuesday is a really bad day to look for anything on Craigslist for some reason. Secondly, everything posted was either much too big or too small which is amazing considering we were looking for ANYTHING between 55 and 125 gallons.
I did get one lead on a "large fish tank" with no other details posted, but I emalied him around 6am and when I hadn't heard anything back by noon I forgot all about it.
Later that night, while submitting a final I decided to check my email. The tank was available! Hooray! So I called the guy, who was very nice, but it sounded like the tank was in really bad shape. He was only asking $40 for it, so I said what the hell, and rented a UHaul for the next day.
I had a night class until 9 and then was up working on exams until well past 1 am. I had to get up at quarter to four to take a shower and get ready for work and I was really starting to feel exhausted.

Finally the fish pics! How many were swimming in the tub? How did you deal with the shower situation?
ReplyDeleteThere was an oscar, a fat chinese algae eater, and an eclipse catfish in the tub. They were the only survivors of the great tank disaster of 2012. :)
ReplyDeleteWe just didn't shower while the fish were in there. It was just over 48 hours, but it was terrible!
