Just your average flying Bubbie. "Bubbie" is Yiddish for grandmother, rhymes with "tubby" but I'm not, tubby, that is, not yet. There's still time.

What to do about Fish
We're not talking gefilte fish here.
maybe I should just leave them where they are, in the sea.
But it is a dilemma, the risk of losing fish, and having lost a really nice one because I put him in too small a tank tells us everything about small spaces. Not good for some living things.
The obvious solution is to buy a bigger tank and set that up. With a bigger tank the nitrogen levels don't rise so fast that salt water fish are vulnerable and die. Not if you take good care of it. So I did that, set up a 20 gallon tank.
But you still wait a month before you buy new fish to make sure the water is just right. Can you imagine if we waited a month to take a bath?
So now I sit across from people and listen to them talk, squeak out a few words here an there, and my eyes wander over to a large tank full of clear running water and a couple of pretty rocks and that alone looks so pretty, and I'm wondering,
Do I really even need the fish? Maybe a couple of fake fish?
