I got a beta fish to keep at my office at school today because they are supposed to be a hardy pet (i.e., they can survive the weekends without food). So far I have:
1. Given it a rough ride home from the pet store over many pot holes.
2. Put it in water that was not the same tempature than the dish I bought it in.
3. Let my cats see the tank and they promtly knock it over and all the water out.
4. Quickly fill part of the fish tank with COLD tap water and a little declorinator.
The poor guy has had so many traumas today in such a short while. He doesn't look to good but seems to be hanging on for dear life. If I show up at the pet store tomorrow with a dead fish I am sure they will revoke my frequent shoppers card.
