Today I’m very excited, and I know this is pretty dam lame for someone who is going on twenty but to hell with it! On Sunday I bought a baby bio orb, it’s basically a fish tank. And it’s set up and readily working and awaiting the arrival of my new gold fish! Yer I know, but I did warn you it was lame. 

Anyways this is all because of my dad really, the Sunday before last he got me to help him clean out the fish pond in his garden. I know it doesn’t sound like much fun but it was kind of cool to me. Cleaning the pond meant moving the fish too, now these fish don’t actually belong to my dad (no he didn’t steal them). When he moved in to this house last year he didn’t know that the previous owners would be leaving there fish behind, it’s just lucky that my dad really likes fish. Now since my dad has been in this house we’ve never really been able to tell exactly how many fish or what fish are in this pond. So along comes Sunday and I’m just hyped about what we might find, and out of this tiny fish pond we pull out around 83 fish. Now most of them are large over grown gold fish, but there must have been other fish in their too because they seemed to have interbred, because what we were fishing out just didn’t look like gold fish any more. 

There were large gold fish shaped body’s with shubumkin styled markings and vies versa, we also had around 50 brown wild carp like fish that bred with the gold fish too. We could tell this because of the difference between the older fish and younger.  So anyway after seeing how many colourful little guys there were it really made wish I had one of my own. Watch them swim around was pretty hypnotising. So now I’m all set up for one of the little guys, all I need is the fish and a name for the fish?
