Here will be some stories about other pets and their owners:
I am a collector or was a
collector of aquarium fish. One of my favorite fish that I have ever had was an
Oscar I named Psycho. A lot of people say fish don’t have personality, but I
disagree. I have never had more fun with fish than with my oscar. Those of you
who don’t know what an oscar is, it is a reddish/ orange colored fish than can
grow to be about a foot in length. And mine was just that with a temper to
match.
One day I got Psycho a gift.
I bought him a larger aquarium. Now he could enjoy more room to run (or
swim). Also, to match his disposition,
I got black rocks and some small decorative human skulls and a larger medium
skull. I didn’t realize though, the larger of the skulls that I put into the
aquarium glowed in the dark. So when you turned off the lights, all you saw was
the skull. Really cool!
I finally showed Psycho to
his new home. I could tell by the look on his face and smile that he loved it,
skulls and all. He swam like there was no tomorrow. I was pleased as well. It
really looked good.
Well it was time to retire
for the night. I said goodnight to Psycho and turned out the lights and went to
bed. All of a sudden I could hear what sounded like somebody digging in small
rocks and then the clang of glass. I lay there listening and wondering what it
was. I was living in an apartment with a roommate so I put the fish in my
bedroom. After a few minutes of this clanging and scooping of rocks, I finally
turned over to see what was making that noise. I looked at the fish tank and
all I could see was a glow in the dark and a skull bouncing around the bottom
of the aquarium and smacking the side of the aquarium walls.
I got up and turned on my
light to see what Psycho was doing. As I turned on the light I saw the fish
pushing and tossing the skull, but when the lights went on he stopped and
didn’t mess with the skull anymore. But when I turned out the lights he was
back at it. I had to finally take the skull out because I wasn’t getting any
sleep. I realized the fish didn’t like the glowing skull. I guess it scared him
or he didn’t like it looking at him while he was trying to sleep.
