Interesting about the snails! Thanks.
i told my daughters this morning.
the six year old was very pragmatic -- "we'll get new fish, right?" she says, with a mouth full of breakfast.
the four year old runs from the breakfast table crying and starts searching the tank for the missing fish, all the while bewailing the loss of the RG, Comet, crying "where is Comet? where is Comet?"
she asks what I did with them. i tell her (I'm a scientist and not into lying to my children) that the blenny is in the freezer so that I can look at him more to better understand what happened, maybe, but that I had to let Comet go (having seen Nemo, she knows what that means). So she leaves the tank and goes to the freezer... She wants to see the blenny.
she looks at him, stops crying and says, "hmmmm... he looks just the same."
and with that, returns to the table and says, "what was the pretty fish's name again?"
