Over two years ago we welcomed Nemo into the family, and then Goldie. They were goldfish that lived in James' room, and neither lived very long.
I got tired of flushing James' pets, so I banned fish for a couple of years. Yesterday, the ban was lifted, and Charlie came home.
This time, we went with a more durable Siamese fighting fish, often referred to simply as a betta fish. Here's hoping Charlie the Siamese fighting fish outlives Nemo and Goldie. It's a fish murderer's third chance.
