Today I finally got off my duff and cleaned the aquarium. All told it takes about 45 minutes from start to finish, so it isn’t that much to ask. The only thing my fish actually get excited about, though, is eating time, twice a day, when they bunch up in the right front corner of the aquarium and wriggle their little bodies, opening and closing their mouths rapidly. So it’s easy to walk by and ignore the fact that I should be cleaning out their digs and providing some different decorations to stimulate their imaginations.
Things look much better now. They’re exploring a bit, but no wriggles, gaping mouths, or other signs of real interest yet.
This doesn’t happen at our house, although we have two cats who would probably eat our fish given the chance. They seem to prefer birds.
