Gone fishing

Old fish

 New fish

Janitor fish (also new)

He's got his work cut out for him

UPDATE: They are all cohabiting nicely now, but the first few days were trying ones. Old Fish had grown used to his solitude since the tetra passed a few months ago (he was 4, I think that's old. No foul play suspected) but New Fish came from a laarrge family (and they all cost 12cents) so he was used to companions in close proximity. New Fish and Old Fish had very different comfort levels in terms of personal space, but they've worked it out now.

Here is Fastitocalon

His tale is much longer than it appears.

I first found him in Tolkien

Look, there is Fastitocalon!
An island good to land upon,
Although 'tis rather bare.
Come, leave the sea, And let us run,
Or dance, or lie down in the sun!
See, gulls are sitting there!
Beware!


But he's in an even earlier Bestiary, 2nd century, under the name of Aspidochelon.
(there seems to be some confusion as to whether he is a turtle or a fish)

William Blake even painted him!

A soul-sucking expanse of primed concrete

Lily pads!

Not sure what's next, but that's OK
