Kana asked about the Lazarus effect of the toilet on one of my previous fish, so I am humoring her, since she is one of two people who read this blog.
The fish in question was another moon platy named Riku, I got him at the same time I got Scion. I got them after owning Dante for about a year or so. I originally put Riku in the tank with Scion. He wasn't going in with Dante because Dante can be a bit of a bully. But Scion started picking on Riku as well so Riku got his own tank. We got him 2 more friend, Daddy-o, formerly known as Sora (yes that was my yaoi obsession) and Auron, another guppy sadly deceased.
I came home to discover Auron doing the backstroke and Sora swimming about. Riku was nowhere to be seen. I flushed Auron and proceeded to search my desk area for Riku. I found him. Dried out on an old credit card statement. I sighed and pick up the credit card statement and went to the restroom. I gently pushed Riku off and was just about to flush the toilet when the bugger started swimming!
I scooped him out of the toilet and rushed him into clean water. He died about a week later. I was amazed he survived that long.
Fish are fascinating creatures, and again boys are stupid...

ReplyDeleteHe he he! Man, they are so testosterone-laden they'll kill themselves if there's no other candidates! Ahh, fish. Did you know sharks have such high testosterone levels that their bodies have to secrete incredibly strong appetite-suppressants to keep them from eating *ALL* of their young when they birth? Just limits it to you know, like, a few. That's too high an aggression level!
