Like tennis, the guitar and contact lenses I thought getting a fish would be easy. But once again life has bitten me on the ass. Here's how it started: one Saturday I asked my dad if I could get a goldfish in a little bowl, and surprisingly (cos my dad hates animals) he said yes. But when my brother heard, him and my dad went on Sunday to the fish shop and came home with a �150 tank with a �30 sunken ship ornament which could hold 30 tropical fish! Ok, I said, as long as I can have 1 goldfish, but because they're cold water and tropical water is obviously hot I couldn't even get one!
We had to leave the tank set up for a week, and after a week we went to the fish shop, thinking we'd get 30 fish, but the bloke said you have to put them in a few fish at a time or else they'd all die! So now we've got a shole collectively called The Pedros, an orange fish called Orlando and a blue fish called Britney. And there's so many things you have to do like feed them, use cleaning fluid, change filter pads and check the water for nitrates and ammonia, when all I wanted was 1 measly goldfish!
The moral of this story: never let men get hold of your ideas!
