Polli and her buddy Jack

I wanted to give Polli some props. For the most part, the only reason she pays any attention at all to our fish is because she LOVES their food pellets. Every night when she hears the bag crinkle, she comes running and sits politely waiting for her obligatory pellet before bedtime.

I caught this picture of her one night while she was saying hello to our Jack Demsey, Jack (yes, very original I know). He is one of two fish in our 200+ gallon tank right now after we tragically lost close to 30 fish during our week without power in December. It was really emotional to see Shawn pulling fish out of the freezing tank that had been with us for years. Two troopers survived it. Jack and the big boy, our shy African Frontosa.
