So here we have the first images the world has seen of the new Butcher fish. Last Friday Joey, Tolka and I went a chose a companion for Alyssa's fish - Ting. Joey and Tolka loved the pet shop, especially the tropical fish with the neon blue go-faster stripe. The snakes and bright green lizards were a favourite too.It was about time we found a companion for Ting. He's been a bit lonely since several other fish that Alyssa brought home perished in the murky depths of their bowl, unable to see through the thick layers of algae and waste that had accumulated. (Alyssa note how clean a fishbowl is supposed to look!)
Well, the new boy on the block is called Max. According to Joey he is a 'real goldfish'. Max is mostly gold, whereas Ting is white with a gold face.They both float around happily exploring their bowl and then, when anyone comes to visit the coffee maker next door for a jolt of energy, they thrash about demanding food and pretending not to have been fed for several days.
We have definitely got less fish problems going on than those reported by our niece Jen Moss - neither of the inhabitants of our tank have tried to eat the other, or indeed molest each other in any other way. Ting sulked in his barrel for a while, but it didn't last. (Martin)
