You couldn’t be serious!


2 fish, one frog. Dead!

Got them all from PetSmart.

We looked up our fish's symptoms.

And took into account the dead frog. 

It looks like it could all lead to one thing, 

These fish had diseases before we got them. 

So I decided I needed to call PetSmart.

I’m heated!

Shaking.

In disbelief that we lost another aquarium friend.

I got on the phone with someone from PetSmart.

Begin to tell them.

“I bought 8 fish and a frog from you in the last 3 weeks. We only had the frog for a week and fish for a couple days before they died. I also have 3 other fish with no fins.”

After the fast explanation of what happened.I took a breath and said.

“Your fish tanks have diseases.”

She then responds,

“Not that we have witnessed, but if you want to bring in your frog and fish we can exchange them.”

No way, she just said what I thought she said?

“What!! You want me to bring my dead frog in exchange for another?” I responded.

She responds with a serious, calm tone.

“Yeah. Or a refund!”

“That's gross and sick.” I thought!

I just hung up with no response back.

Not even goodbye.

 I couldn't believe what she said.

“That was not happening.” I thought

I was certain it was their tanks.

So I now knew.

I couldn’t buy any more from them.

The day after the great escape!! I popped out of bed, I immediately thought to check the fish. I looked in and counted them all. Thankfully, they were all together in one spot. I remember thinking, “Thank god, that the pink fish has not passed away.” I sat there for a while and watched. I started to realize,  They were acting strange!  “Is this how fish swim?” I thought I started taking out my phone and recording. They were swimming in place,  Leaning to the side,  Then leaning to the other side.  I noticed, it's Pink Fish and Yellow Fish doing it. I didn't even realize at the time. But.. I was giving them their nicknames.  I stopped calling them by the names we gave them, but by their colors.  Pink Fish, Yellow Fish, Little Blue and Big Blue. I continued to sit and watch, Then I texted Shane the video because I needed someone else to see this! Again, bothering him at work, but this was important! I needed to know if this is how fish swim. Thankfu...

  How it all started!! We love being fish keepers now but…  We never planned on becoming fish keepers. It all started on a family getaway to Vermont. The hotel we stayed at had a beautiful indoor pond that wrapped along the dining room. Every morning before breakfast, my youngest, Lucas, hurried over to the pond to visit them. What started as a curiosity soon became Lucas' love for these giant fish; nothing you would see in any home fishbowl.  By the second day something funny happened, the fish would swim over to him. Maybe thinking, "Does he have food?" Maybe just curious about this interesting giant. Whatever the reason, every morning they would school around him while he happily talked to them.  They had these big lips that would move like they were actually forming sentences. Lucas would turn around and say, "They love me."  He thought they were his friends, so he started calling them “his fish friends”.  Then it was the day we had to leave,...

  The first trip to the petstore  We walked into Petsmart for the first time full of excitement, expecting to spend maybe $20, a fish or two and a bowl.  We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. The kids and I beelined to the fish section. We saw orange fish, white fish, tiny fish, big fish. We had no idea where to even start, nor did we know they need a current about of water. Lucas starts pointing from tank to tank, I then looked over to the employee and asked  "Can we get one of these fish and one of those." She patiently stated, “They can’t go together” “They need a 30 gallon tank” Then worker asking, “Do you have a tank?” Meanwhile Shane is shopping for tanks and learning about what we actually need. The kids and I? To excited to care, h ow much damn water they needed.  thinking, “Just give us some fish we will buy a bowl”  Well that was my thought anyway, two little fish and a...
