A Fishy Scare

So yesterday was my weekly cleaning of my daughters fish tank.

This time she was here when i was going to do it. the reason why i do it when shes asleep or not home is because she always asks to help.

Im thankful that she volunteers to help since she did promise to help if we got her the fish. But we all know it is much easier to do it ourselves.

So my routine is i always place the fishes in a ziplock bag while i change the water and clean the bowl.

Then i zip the bag to just enough where the water will come out and not the fish (risky i know).

So yesterday it happened the fish came out the bag and down the drain. My daughter went into shock she started screaming and running around a house. I went into panick mode.

So i grab an old rug thats under the sink and place it under the pipes to see and hope the fish is still there he is still in the drain. So i rush to get a bag and place it under the pipes and run the water.

Poof there went the fish swimming into the bag. What a relief he was still alive. Now to make up for the scare (and to cover my butt just in case). My daughter added one more fish to her new fish tank. I cant promise this wont happen again since now they are three fishes to clean. Oh yes and now rocks too i have to worry about going down the drain.
