R.I.P. Greg Eel and other happenings

I havent posted in some days mostly due to my frustration at the mounting loss of life in 220 C tank. Several days ago, Greg Eel was lost. Being the most expensive member of the tank, this pissed me off, and I believe it to be no coincidence that all the members who have died came from the same Petland Discounts. I'm now sure of this, taking blame completely away from me (yes, the zoology major apparently can take care of fish, so long as they arrive mildly healthy to begin with) because Greg Eel, when found dead, posessed what appeared to be the same disease as Bolton Frog, meaning they had all arrived sick, or one had and then infected the others.
But in any case, Greg Eel had a very low key ceremony. Greg himself refused to attend, instead sending his condolences in a message to be read at the funeral- "I fucking hate that fish." So Bolton took over and gave a nice speach.
A day later it became apparent that Reb Fish was not healthy either, and was exhibiting very similar symptoms to Fred Fish. I was sure he would be dead within 48 hours, but somehow made a miraculous recovery and now seems to be almost back to normal. As for the others, Tri Snail has acted like a snail, Greyfish has done little other than either climb the coral or sit in the corner, and Joe Fish has continued to suck on anything in sight.
Although we only have 4 members left, they wont be lonely for too long. I expect a new member to arrive this coming Monday. Keep tuning in to find out who (what) it will be.

No One Died Today!

There is absolutely nothing worth talking about today. Everyone (thats left) did exactly what they do everyday. September 20 is targeted as the next time a new fish will be added. Im sure things will be more exciting tomorrow, so check back then bitches!

(btw, Joe Fish continued to suck on the side of the tank today)

R.I.P. Bolton Frog

Earlier on the evening of September 5, 2004, Bolton Frog was seen taking his last breaths, and was soon dead floating on the surface of the water. Earlier in the day he had been seen with some form of fungus growing on his rear feet, although the actual cause of death is of course unknown. (And yes, I am aware that quite a few of the 220 C tank residents have died in a week and my advice is never buy any fish from Petland Discounts)
In other news, Joe Fish and Greg Eel were seen engaging in some form of erotiz behavior in the front left corner of the tank. It's clear now that Joe Fish's fling with Tri Snail was a one-time thing, and Joe Fish is some form of algae-sucking slut.
As for the other residents:
Greyfish has been fairly active today, crawling all over the tank and various rocks and coral.
Tri Snail has been at the top of the tank most of the day, in the back left corner of the tank.
Reb Fish has taken part in the same activities that he has the last few days.

R.I.P. Vhary Fish

At 3:30 pm today, Vhary Fish was declared dead. About an hour earlier she was seen having great difficulty swimming, and it wasn't long before she began to turn upside down. It's unclear as to what caused her death, but she had been very stressed from the move and never really settled down. This stress along with the fact that shes really just a fancy guppy is what is believed to had killed her. Her death was only one of several stories today.
The first 220 C tank romance may have begun. Last night it was noticed that Joe Fish was not sucking on the side of the tank or a rock, but instead on Tri Snail. Tri Snail seemed to be enjoying it, but it's unclear if this was a one-time thing or something more serious. I will keep you updated.
Greyfish's first molt also took place early this morning. His antenna is completely grown back, and his missing leg is half back. However, he lost 1 claw in the process, but the one he does have is quite large.
As for everyone else:
Greg Eel still remains amongst the coral in the front left corner.
Reb Fish still remains swimming mostlyon the right side of the tank.
Bolton Frog has been more active than usual today, swimming around quite a bit.

A Return to Normalcy

After yesterday hectic day, the residents of 220 C tank were able to get back into their normal routines. There have been no major stories to report on. A summary of everyones activities:
Greyfish has moved in back of the center coral, and has remained there most of the day, only leaving to get food.
Greg Eel has explored the tank more since yesterday, but still prefers the piece of coral in the front left corner.
Tri Snail has moved to the back left corner and seems to enjoy the new air pump.
Reb Fish has spent most of the time swimming around on the right side of the tank, probably waiting for food.
Bolton Frog has moved to the back left corner, where he has just been lying around.
Vhary Fish has yet to calm down, and still shakes constantly. She hasn't remained in one place, instead traveling to different areas on a regular basis.
Joe Fish made a change today and sucked on a rock instead of the side of the tank.

R.I.P. Fred Fish

At approximately 3:30 pm on September 2, 2004, Fred Fish was discovered lying dead on the bottom of 220 C tank. This however was just the biggest story in a very eventful day in 220 C tank.
Earlier in the afternoon Greyfish had moved to the right side of the tank, and had begun picking all of the gravel out of the 2 corners there, and piling them around two depressions, creating what appeared to be two forts. However, as soon as he finished building them, he moved to the right rock.
At 3:30, Fred Fish was discovered dead on the bottom of the tank, next to the right rock. Greyfish was seen picking at the body, but it is believed that the cause of death was a disease he had contracted before coming to 220 C tank. The body was scooped put of the tank, knocking over the right rock in the process, and brought into the bathroom where a very short ceremony was held, and he was past along to the ocean. On return to the tank, Greyfish was no where to be seen. It was at first feared that he had escaped the tank, using Fred Fish's death as a cover, and a wide search was launched. However, he was discovered inside the hollow right rock, taking advantage of it being knocked down. During the effort to remove him from the rock, an accident occured where soda was spilled on a computer, possibly frying it. It is believed to be an intentional attack launched by Greyfish on the world outside 220 C tank.
In an effort to relieve the grief felt by everyone for the death of Fred Fish and the destruction of the lap top, a trip to the pet store was arranged. As a result, there is a new air pump installed to allow for more inhabitants, two pieces of fake coral (1 positioned in the center of the tank and the other in the front left corner), and 2 new 220 C inhabitants. Greg Eel is a banded fire eel. He is the longest inhabitant of 220 C tank. Vhary Fish is a jade head. She is now the smallest inhabitant of 220 C tank, but is also the most colorful, posessing a beautiful red tail.
To sum up the other inhabitants activities for the day:
Tri Snail spent some time near the new air pump, seeming almost lost amongst the bubbles.
Reb Fish is the most active eater of all the inhabitants, seemingly insatiable.
Bolton Frog has taken up residence in the abandoned fort Greyfish built in the front right corner.
Greg Eel has made the piece of coral in the front left corner his place of residence, only tolerating Tri Snail and Joe Fish.
Vhary Fish has explored the entire tank, never remaining in one area for very long. She also appears to be very stressed from the move, constantly shaking.
Joe Fish continued to suck on the side of the tank.

Greyfish Gets Feisty

In the first full day of fish in room 220c, the biggest story has been surrounding Greyfish. Early this morning he made an attack first on Bolton Frog, asserting his dominance in the back left corner of the tank. He followed this by then ripping Tri Snail off the side of the tank and pushing him out of his new zone of control. Since then, he has set up a new base of opperation in the left rock and has been on high alert for possible counter-attacks.
Bolton Frog has retreated to the front right corner, far away from the aggressive Greyfish. Reports from his camp are sketchy and it is unclear if he will attempt a counter-attack. In the meantime, Tri Snail has made a slow advance on the Greyfish base, scaling the right side. At the time of this posting there is a stalemate.
Fred Fish today showed what may be some damage on his left fin. It is unclear at this time if it was caused by any of the other occupants of the tank. He has stayed out of the confrontation in the back left corner. The same can be said of Reb Fish who has spent the majority of his time near the top of the tank attempting to eat air bubbles.
Joe Fish has continued to suck on the side of the tank.

Introduction to Room 220 C Fish Tank

The 220 C fish reside in a 10 gallon fish tank at Stony Brook University. Two small rocks dot their landscape, one in the north and one in the south. Future renovations however are planned.
The residents of 220 C tank include:

Fred Fish- An African knifefish who possesses no dorsal fins, only a thin fin along its bottom. Fred Fish is the 2nd largest resident of 220 C tank.
Greyfish- A North American crayfish, who lost half of 1 antennae and a leg to battles with other crayfish while in the pet store. The most aggressive of the residents of 220 C tank.
Bolton Frog- An African dwarf frog, he at times will lay at the bottom of the tank for long periods of time, and at others will swim about in a seemingly mindless fashion.
Joe Fish- A plecostomus (pleco), a species of algae eating fish that does little except suck on objects within the tank or on the walls of the tank itself. The largest resident of 220 C tank.
Tri Snail- An, ummmm, snail. The smallest resident of 220 C tank.
Reb Fish- A red Gaurami, he is the most colorful resident of 220 C tank, and one of the smallest.

New residents are coming, and it is hoped one will be added every week (usually on mondays) until the total residents are about 11. And of course, there is always the possibility of unexpected deaths. The 220 C Daily Fish Report will be posted at least daily (most of the time) so make sure to check back everyday to see how everyone is doing.
