funny fish

This is a picture of the fish pond in my house.


If you notice, there is a diagonal barricade that is constructed out of stones and bricks and stuff. The barricade is meant to separate the orange and white fish in the larger, right-hand portion of the pond, from the rest of the dumb-ass goldfish cos apparently, that orange and white dude is a great menace to the other fish. The orange guy is supposed to be confined in quarantine in the smaller left-hand side of the pond.

BUT. Is the orange menace anywhere near the left-hand side of the pond? I don't think so! How did he get over to the other side? I have NO IDEA. I inspected the barrier and it's pretty fish-proof. There are no holes anywhere for him to slip through! How is this possible! My theory is that there is one small lacuna in our grand plan. The lacuna is this: There is a portion of the barricade on the extreme right where there the barricade does not stand out of the water. This results in there being a layer of water resting above where the top of the barricade ends. As a result, I think the stupid fish floated over the layer of water over to the other side.

Another goldie fish has flown his gold ass over to the left-hand side of the pond, if you can see. I recently saw him banging his body into the stone barricade in an attempt to get himself out of there. haha, how dumb. I hate my fish.

We also bought two fighting fish recently for the purposes of in-house entertainment (so that they can fight each other to their deaths and we can watch in amusement).


My dad and brother were chatting in the living room and my dad was saying that the fighting fish will fight each other until one dies. One must be killed. It's all or nothing. Then my brother asked my dad why they weren't fighting. Then my dad said, oh! cos they put them in concave bowls so they can't see each other and my parents haven't transferred them to a proper tank so the fights can begin. Then my brother took a closer look at the fish and guess what! It already died! even before fighting! HAHA! tragic.

So here's a picture of the surviving fighting fish.
