Fish Tank Frenzy

I discovered, today, a new edition to the fish tank family, a very tiny new member. I am assuming that Etta Mae and Archie had children. I am not sure, as I do not know if the little guy is theirs or the algae eaters. It is so damn tiny I cannot figure it out. The other scary thing is is that Etta Mae is pretty bent of eating the little gaffer. I have been watching Brothers and Sister Season 1. Etta Mae must have been watching too and no doubt she wants no part of a large family. The poor dear, if only I could explain the joys of it all to her.

As I watched the little guy swimming around Etta Mae made a mad dash to consume him. I thought she actually nailed him but to my relief she did not. It took me most of the afternoon to confirm that however, and at this point I, again, cannot find the little guy. It is really tough to spot him. He can get into the gravel and the plants not to mention the little houses. I pray for him, I would love for him to survive and grow, become a contributing member of the fish tank. Of course, my thought after that was it will be that much more difficult for any future new members. Not only will Mom and Dad be after them but so will big brother!
