    • I can only imagine:

      Tetra #1: “Hey, check it out! We have a new neighbor! Let’s go introduce ourselves.”
      Tetra #2: “I dunno, those teeth look pretty big…”
      Tetra #3: “Don’t be racist.”
      Tetra #1: “Yeah. Don’t be racist. You can’t judge a book by its cover, you know.”
      Tetra #2: “…”
      Tetra #1: “I’m going over to say ‘Hi.'”
      Tetra #1: ** is eaten **
      Tetra #3: “Well, you know, everyone makes mistakes. I’m going to introduce myself; I’m sure he just needs someone to treat him with respect and compassion. Probably had a difficult childhood or something.”
      Tetra #2: “…”
      Tetra #3: ** is eaten **
      Tetra #2: “I’m going to go hang out by the gargoyles over here. Like, away from the new guy. Like, far away.”

      • Tetra’s

        That’s ironic since the first two fish to go swim with the tidy bowl man during the tank conditioning period were two out of my three tetra’s. Luckily one of the Molly’s had three babies less then twelve hours after being put in the tank so I’m still showing a net profit of one fish.

        The tank conditioning is the worst part. The fish you buy for this time period are basically sacrificial (pun intended) lamb, sent to die in a tank of algee and nutrient free water. I look everyday, expecting more and more floaters. So far though, it’s only been the two Tetra’s. Who knows, maybe the rest will survive…
