Fish!

Just yesterday, I got the call i had been waiting for. The pastor at our church said i could have a fish! So the same day, i went down to PETCO with my dad and brother to get two fish (this is because one fish would be lonely without a friend). they were very helpful and i bought goldfish flakes, a thermometer, gravel, and two Comet Goldfish. John was unhappy that i had gotten a fish (even though i spent $14! on one) so he was able to convince Dad into letting him buy a small fish home, a statue thing to go in the bowl, and a goldfish. John only got one so I'm really guessing that his fish is really lonely. You can't really really tell the gender of the fish so i chose two girls. The first one, is orange and white so I named her Colby Jack after the cheese. The second one if white, orange, and black and orange and black are my school colors back in Niger. So i named it Sahel's Comet after the girls' softball team (the Comets). ALSO, she was a COMET goldfish so it fit perfectly. I'm really hoping they will last at least a month because the lady said they can die easily and may only last a week. I really hope not! I woke up at 7:30 this morning to feed Comet and Colby and i found out that Colby is a food hog. He tried to eat all Comet's food. Comet doesn't eat as fast so i had to worry about her. She also threw up so of the food she ate and COLBY ATE IT! YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Colby, you're really disgusting. But i know it's normal with fish.
