Fish Fight
That’s right, they do. One would assume that different breeds of fish fight when put together in a confined space. Perhaps they do not like the colour shade of the other fish they have to share their space with. Or they are just snooty. Or perhaps, one set just happens to be a cranky lot. Whatever the reason, not all is hunky dory in the calm surroundings. What spooked me was the same breed ganging up on a newcomer. The machinations of an enigin scam would pale into insignificance when compared to what happens in the confines of an aquarium.
Let me explain. I once had three goldfish in a large bowl. They made a happy trio until one of them passed away. I felt sad for the remaining two and as an act of empathy at this bereavement; I brought home a new one to make up for the loss. All was quiet for a day or two. I noticed heightened activity when passing by the bowl and was quite happy with myself for having brought back such playfulness among the three. Later in the day, I felt there was too much movement. You know, instead of just gliding, there was lightening fast movements. Closer inspection revealed that the remaining two were ganging up on the newcomer and were chasing him around with no respite. When one stopped, the other began. They took turns at making life miserable for the new comer. I decided that come morning, I would get a small bowl exclusively for the newcomer.
I was not prepared for what awaited me the next day. The new fish was floating belly up while the other two nonchalantly glided all around the bowl as though nothing was a-miss. It took all the good in me to prevent bloodshed that day. I have never repeated that act of compassion again.
