One of my pet fish died today – going the way of Dennis Wise (my ex-hamster) and Princess Diana. It was a sad day, especially as it was almost four years to the day that I bought the poor creature.
I am not sure why it suddenly stopped swimming and became a floater, but am pinning the blame on the white fish food block I left in the tank while I was on holiday last week.
The block of food promised “a hidden compartment containing a secret formula”. It appears this secret formula was almost certanly poison. Poison that killed my fish!
Luckily the other six fish appear healthy – obviously avoiding the same fate as their late friend.
I held a private burial which was later attended by the bin men. Nemo has now gone to a better place.

An update on my fish for tonight’s blog. The goldfish I bought two weeks ago are doing well. I was originally worried about their well-being as it appeared they were not eating, or rather were being denied food by the other fish in their tanks. As they are not dead and have been spotted shitting,...

The most interesting purchase that day was from the pet shop, where I acquired two goldfish to accompany the Danios currently in the tank.I wanted to get one large goldfish, but was advised...

Frosty the Snowman decided to piss ice and snow all over the country last week. Bath City were supposed to be playing Kettering on Saturday. Kettering does unfortunately not share the temperatures of Qatar, so as with most fixtures across England, the match was postponed due to the cold weather. Therefore, it was a Saturday...
- You spin me right round
One of my fish isn’t very well. I have had it over four years now and in its old age, it is starting to swim upside down. When I first saw this peculiar behaviour, I did expect to come downstairs the next morning to see it had stopped swimming altogether and find it floating on...
