A memorial to the unnamed
An unnamed Golden Algae Eater died last night as the result of being eaten by a much larger fish. I am unsure of the culprit, but the Blue Gourami was looking very content earlier today. I shall take a moment to narrate the short life of this fine young fish. As a spur of the moment purchase on Friday, January 26th 2007, this little guy had a fighting spirit to be matched by no other fish. It took 3 minutes for the Petsmart clerk to chase him down and put him in a bag; converse to the Plecostomus that I also bought, who surrendered immediately. After a short ride down I-75 to the TSRB, the unnamed fish was released to his new home–where he promptly started eating some algae on the right side of the tank.
Thank you, unnamed Golden Algae Eater. You were an inspiration to us all, and you will be missed. As for the Gourami, I hope he enjoyed his $3.89 happy meal.
[UPDATE] False alarm. He was hiding under a rock.

I don’t care what anyone says - this very possibly could be some of Jeremy’s best blog-writing EVAR. Dude, hilarious.
