Kill the Shrimp!!!!

So... there is a Salt Water fish tank in my house... most of the things it contains are pretty cool... like the black clown fish from Africa and the yellow fish that can't really swim...

then there's the shrimp... we've never liked the shrimp... Don't tell Elie...

and we are convinced that they are the ones behind the mysterious death and disappearances of a handful of the creatures in the tank...

but as of this morning... one shrimp met it's watery grave... hehehe...

so all that leaves now as the possible culprits is the orange clown fish or the remaining shrimp as they are the 2 oldest creatures in there... my bet is it is the other shrimp... either that, or Zoe's been sneaking into my house late at night...

No more Bobbing...

Dawn and Tyler are in Israel and their kids are staying with their grandparents, so I have been left in charge of the household. My sole responsibility is to take care of Elie's salt water fish. I have fed and taken care of her fish many times before with no problem. Yes the giant shrimp still bug me and Moses the yellow fish that can't swim is still pretty emo, but I handle it.

One of the newest members of the tank is Bob... well really his name is Tanker, but Elie took such a long time in naming him that I felt Bob was sufficient because that's what he did, he bobbed around and we are certain that he was straight out of Star Wars, although Jim said he was from Sri Lanka...

Anyways...

Yesterday morning everything was great with the aquatic animals. I came home late in the afternoon, turned on the fish light like I always do and was talking on the phone with Kim and trying to make Banana Oatmeal bread when to my horror, I realized that Bob wasn't bobbing anymore, or moving, or breathing...

Bob's DEAD!

Oh, but PLEASE DON'T TELL ELLIE!
Jim, the amazing friend and fish guy that he is, is going to bring Bob Jr. on Tuesday and I sure hope he looks the same! Although, Jim did make ME take Bob out and put in a plastic baggie and "burry" Bob in the trash can.

Oh gosh... I sure hope that's all the excitment to happen in that tank while everyone's gone :-(
