I told you all that I had rescued my son's girlfriends three fancy goldfish and named them all after the three stooges. Then Moe died after two weeks, and we ended up getting a new 55 gallon tank and bringing the other two into our dining room and having them become part of the family.
Well, last week we found our replacement stooge, Shemp! We had been keeping an eye out at the various pet stores and found the cutest little baby fish (I can't believe I am saying that....I have never owned fish in my life!) I now understand why people call fancy goldfish 'aquapuppies'. Shemp is just like having a little puppy in a tank. He is still in the ten gallon quarantine tank for awhile before he can join the big boys. He is a baby calico Ryukin with the biggest, fanciest tail and Mohawk (doral fin) I"ve even seen. He loves to flash his tail at you when he wants food and he's already learned to follow my finger around the glass and greet me. Here are his 'baby pictures'! If I can't have more dogs and real puppies, at least I can have an aquapuppy!
