Remember Darth Fishee, our bowl menace? He (or she) was always nipping and harassing the other fish. We started out with five fish and Darth worked it down to 2. Here's the link if you want to refresh your memory.
In the course of time, I began to find the fish rather fascinating. Now, Darth's little tank buddy is dying. The second fish is swimming very crookedly and having a hard time getting around.
Rather than harass it, Darth helps it get to its food. It has happened each and every time now that I've fed them. Darth comes up under the fish and pushes it up to the top of the tank where it can successfully feed.
Then Darth looks at me with these eyes that just seem to beg for me to do something. Geez. No pressure or anything. Poor little guy. I think Darth's a better fish for it all.
