Life as a National Geographic spread

May 26, 2010 at 9:18 am (general life)

I walked into the living room yesterday and glanced at the fish to discover Sherlock eating something that turned out to be half of one of the neon tetras.

“What do they eat when they can’t get hobbit?” – LOTR quote.

It’s pretty disturbing to see one pet kill and eat another pet. But it’s about as natural as a fish tank can get. He hasn’t eaten another one yet (I imagine he’s still rather full) but I’ll be keeping a close eye on developments. I may make a decision to separate him (at least until he gets better at eating his own food – which, ironically, the neon tetras have been eating).

So much for fish tanks being peaceful.
