We have fish. I like fish. They are pretty easy to take care of, cheap to own, and can provide hours of entertainment to people with attention spans like mine. Since getting my tank, it has been populated with the following (in order):
- A black guppy named Black (deceased)
- A yellow guppy named Yellow (deceased)
- Two harlequin rasboras named Thing One and Thing Two
- A zebra danio named Zebra - officially Judy's
- Two tetras - still currently unnamed (one deceased)
- Two crabs named Houdini and Blaine because of their affinity for trying to get out of the tank - officially Josh's (deceased)
He has then been observed chasing the three remaining fish around the tank, haranguing and harassing them (at least, to my mind), and generally being a big bully. Stern words have been issued, but he appears to not understand, or not care. We have resorted to alternative measures. Allow me to introduce Totoro and Lupé.

The hope is that the introduction of these two slightly larger fish will serve to stop Zebra thinking he is king of the tank, and also make it a bit prettier - Totoro is a lovely red, and Lupé's spots complement Zebra's stripes wonderfully.
