Big Orange is in the Clear. It's That Other One

Some of you may remember that the sea monkey tribe that lives in my bathtub made a territory grab last summer and infiltrated the fish tank. (click for back story) I immediately suspected that the sea monkeys had turned the enormous carny goldfish to the Wet Side. And believe me, they tried. But Big Orange remained true blue and wouldn't flip on the family.

Not so for the other one.

The sea monkeys could ride that bad boy to world domination. (Note their eerie foggy presence.)

The white and orange fish apparently feels it's better than the other one since it came from a garden store. Because of this uppidy notion, he's thrown his lot in with the sea monkeys. How do I know, you may ask? Because of the sucking.

Yes. Sucking.

The smaller one (which is now almost the size of the bigger one) rises to the top of the tank and sucks its little brains out, making a loud slapping sound. It's freakishly loud! You can hear it all over the house! I mean the sea monkeys with their warbling tribal chants has nothing on this thing.

And it's driving me crazy. Ipso facto, the sea monkeys. They're behind this for sure.

So again, I'll need to go on the offensive. I'm ready to submerge an operative from the Gnome Underground Network (G.U.N.) in the tank to do a little "wet work" for me.

But for now, I'll only have time to do a quick tidy up since author Sara Walter Ellwood will be visiting Tongue in Cheek tomorrow. Stop back to check out her interview and newest release.

Until then, Citizens!
