playing god
...a followup to (new friends)
all three goldies survived the night, but one—the smallest—is currently swimming backwards. i'm no icthyologist, but this can't possibly be a good omen.
fueled with good intentions, i dedicated my lunch hour to the location and procurement of the largest gold fish / beta bowl available from the fish market down the street. only now, after researching goldies in further detail online, is it clear that even this vessel is far too small for the three of them.
thus hoping to ensure the best possible chances for survival of the desktop goldie population, i have chosen to transplant the two healthy, (i.e. forward swimming), fishes to the new bowl. the smallest guy continues to swim backwards in his original vase.
though this entertains the cats immensely, i can't help feeling like a heartless jerk.
