Poor Phil

Phil is my siamese fighting fish that I have at work.

While I was away on vacation, the girl that sits next to me fed him every day.

Also, the girl that does deliveries to the entire office noticed that I was away and fed Phil every day for me.

And my good friend Mark didn't want to be left out of the action and he fed him TWICE a day, because he looked hungry.

When I came in this morning, his water water was so cloudy you couldn't even see poor Phil !! He's probably fat as can be!

Stick a mirror next to his bowl after you change the water. I'm sure this will keep him moving quite a bit.

LOL! Sounds like the first time I fed "weekend long-feeders" for my FW fish back in college. Dropped in about 3 or 4 of these pink colored sticks of food to cover while I was gone for a long weekend.....came back to a lil' 5 gal tank with plants and gravel COVERED in this pink food "dust"! Got a good laugh and all the fish were fine but it took me a good hour to clean it up.

OK, now it's really POOR PHIL!!


He went carpet surfing this morning.


My girlfriend found him on the carpet, all dried up....I wanted to put him back in the tank to see if he'd come back to life, but she made me flush him.

The memorial service will be this evening at 5:00
