Tetra- physical Murder

So... I blame grad school for not writing in months.

And I blame my not writing while I had a 5 week break from classes on the department fish HANNIBAL! He caused much distress over the break.

You all may remember Hannibal from Swimmin' with Da Fishes back in March. Well, we kept Hannibal, and he lived peacefully with 2 other fish for quite some time. Honestly, we did not have any trouble with him until the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. What a little sacrilegious shit! You can't kill on Christmas, it's a rule I am pretty sure!

Anyway, I think he knows when Davonna is leaving and finds it fun to mess with me; what he doesn't know is that unlike Davonna, I think a little time in solitary bowl confinement and a few empty threats of flushing are in order, and I will let this wo/man do it:
I should take some of the blame for his behaviors. I do frequently call him names and chastise him for being a killer. I also suppose watching Dexter with Hannibal has probably not been helpful...

I think watching the show has even improved his tactics. I did not notice the first fish was missing until my second day back, when BOTH fish were gone. Then I searched the tank and could not find traces of EITHER fish. I mean that's some serious skills, our tank is not that big.

Anyway, after much debate, and food deprivation- yes PETA we did not feed the little bastard, because the fat ass had just eaten TWO other fish- Davonna did not have the heart to flush or put him in solitary, so she went out and got 2 "aggressive" fish to put in the bowl with him. They are red in color, so naturally we tried to name them after a ginger duo- we chose Fred and George from Harry potter... but then we saw Fred and George doing some things brothers should not do; so they were renamed, Toby Keith and Nicole Kidman. Toby and Nicole are holdin' it down. Hannibal has tried to aggravate them, but no luck, they seem to be ruling the tank... just like they rule Australia.
