I want some clownfish. They’re just so cute - the perfect little fishy proportions. And the cute little mouths! OK, I’ve used the words ‘cute’ and ‘little’ enough now.
Matthew and I have been going to fish shops because he wants to get some more cichlids for his tank, and I’ve been thinking that it would be kind of cool to get a Siamese fighting fish or something to have on my desk at work - they’re less maintenance than other fish, since you don’t need the pumps/filters etc that you do with others, and they have beautiful colouring. But then I saw the clownfish, and thought that I’d rather have those. But the problem with them is that you do need the filters/pumps etc for them, and I’d be worried that if there were a power failure or something at work over the weekend, the pump wouldn’t be running, and they might die
But the bummer of clownfish is that people would think that the only reason I got those is because of Finding Nemo, which isn’t true. I haven’t seen the movie, and I don’t think Nemo is particularly cute. But seeing real ones swim around - awwwww. I like the orange ones, but I also like the black/brown ones. I wonder if I could get a couple of each? Hmmm… better start saving, since they’re not cheap!
