I'd like to introduce you to our new fish, Melanie. She is unique because the design on her tail looks like Mickey Mouse ears - hopefully you can see it on the picture - I took several pictures so that it was easily visible, but that darn fish would not stay still!
The kids were excited to get a new fish, although we were only getting one, which meant they had to agree. Once the saleswoman showed the Mickey ear design on Melanie Maria was sold, but Sam took a little convincing. Then they had to agree on the name:
Maria: How about Kathryn or Caroline?
Sam: How about Rosie?
Pause
Maria: How about Kathryn?
Sam: How about Stinky?
And so it went for a few minutes. Then,
Sam: Whatever. Maria, you can just name the fish.
Pause
Maria: How about Melanie?
Sam: Yeah! Melanie.
Maria: We'll call her Mel for short.
So it's official - Melanie has joined Salty and Seaweed. We decided to hold off on getting another snail - we had a brown algae problem earlier this week and want to make certain it's taken care of before we get a pet that eats everything off of the sides of the aquarium.
