Life in a tank is pretty funky. No predators only fish droppings to turn the gills green. Don’t swallow, you’ll be fine. Blowing in the ship is prohibited, the big fish bite. The cats can’t get in, taunt them all you like. Watch out for paws. On occasion the fur swims. Never for long. The big mammals start screeching and flapping about. Ignore them, they are on our side, except for the little ones, keep your eyes on them. Nasty critters. Always fouling up the water with sticky grime and objects. Fight belly up. I hope you’ll enjoy your stay and not be fated to wind up in the flush like the last goldfish. You all look the same, Bob 23.

Love it. Not sure the caretaker is selling the tank life too well, but fun to read. I hope Bob survives! 🙂

I think it was the fish in front (we see a slight tail) narrating. Beauty of fiction is it can be read many ways 🙂

Yes fish tank is a protected place. More like a zoo but not much freedom. Does a fish feel suffocated in a tank? Nice story.

It doesn’t seem fair fish are often in confined spaces. On the other hand they don’t have to fight for food or become food (assuming the owners are decent).

Wow Tannille, I had not even seen the other fish’s tail until I read your comments. I think Bob 23 will have a long interesting stint in the tank, he seems like a realist.

I wouldn’t have caught it either if it weren’t for my brain scrambling for a story and searching for elements within the pic to use. 🙂

I was pretty good about that at one time, picking out the less obvious piece of the photo, but I fear I am so harried these days I do well to write at all. Nice job!
