  ok..so i got this fish tank for valentine's day and i really wanted to have a pet shark but instead a got a bunch of feeder fishes. for some reason, they all got sick but one. the runt out of the group survived. she outlived all her brothers and sisters.
then one day, i got a few guppies added to my tank but that didn't last long because they miracuously disappeared while i was on vacation. so now all i have is one guppy and a gold fish name wanda. i ran out of food a week ago...i've been neglecting them. i never really got to attached to the guppy but wanda, i did care about and i didn't want her to die.
well, i was at my parent's house the other day and i saw my sister's turtle and thought about wanda. i asked my sis if i could have some of her turtle food for my fishy. yes i am lazy and didn't feel like going to the pet store. well when i got home, i crushed the turtle stick food and put one in the tank. wanda was so excited cuz she hasn't seen food in awhile. she went in for the food and she choked. the stick was too big for her little mouth. she was gagging. i didn't know what to do. i was so scared for her. i could see the food in her mouth. it was too hard for her to swallow it.
a tear came to my eye...i felt my fish slipping away from me and if she died, it would have been all my fault. i called my friend and told him that my fish was choking. he was no help. he just laughed at me. so i hung up the phone and prayed that the food stick would just get soft so she could either swallow it or cough it up. after about 5 minutes of gagging, she coughed up the food. i was so relieved but then i saw her going for the food again but luckily it was soft enough for her to swallow.
go figure. well that's my fish story. i hope i never have to live through that again. it was pretty traumatizing. but i did learn something...that maybe i shouldn't get a shark ..and not to feed wanda turtle food. :-)
