1 for 4 Fish Update

For those of you who are curious about our pet fish dilemma, well....it isn't going so well.  

Chase's first fish died and was replaced right around the time Reece's fish began to look a little, shall we say, tilted to one side.  Reece's fish held on for days but eventually gave up the fight and stopped puckering.  

All the while, Pierce's fish swims strong, much to his dismay (simply because he wants the special trip to the pet store to pick out a new one - no loyalty here!)

And within days, Chase's new zippy little fish was apparently too zippy and ran out of zip.  Yes, it is true, he died too.  So 0 for 2 for Chase!  He handled the loss a little better this time around.

All the while, Pierce's fish swims strong, much to his dismay.

My conclusion: I told my sweet husband we would have been financially better off to spend the 85 pesos on the water drops that he refused to purchase when they tried to sell them to us at the pet store - maybe it would have saved us in the long run....but what do I know? :)

Good thing: the "replacing the fish activity" is not mentioned too any times anymore so we haven't made it a priority yet to follow through.  In the meantime, Pierce's eats really well and seems just as healthy as can be.  Go fish go!
