I put the goldfish in the tank Sunday night, named them Monday - The orange fish is now Nicolae, for Nicolae Tesla, and the white and orange is Isaac, for Isaac Asimov. Yes, I went nerd. They've settled in wonderfully, and Isaac's even eating directly from the surface. Qing was watching them several times, so I can say at least ONE of the cats is interested in these little things swimming in the big glass box. But this morning, I found a surprise...
There were two more fish in the tank! Was one of the goldfish female...? No, no, goldfish don't give live birth... Guppies do, goldfish don't. Goldfish lay eggs. Upon closer inspection, I noticed the shape of the fins...
There were MOLLIES in my tank! Where had they come from?
Mother bought them yesterday. Apparently they were on sale... Well, nothing to be done now but make sure nobody goes belly-up, and name the new additions! It didn't take me nearly as long as the goldfish - The mollies, an orange and a white(Getting a pattern here...) are now named George(For George Orwell) and Orson(For Orson Welles).
I need to take pictures one day...
