Opossum our fish...

Meet our fish Opossum. Since I keep kids I thought he would be fun to have, not only is he kind of pretty but he can keep them busy and would be a learning tool. Notice his milky looking water? Nick decided the other morning to come downstairs really early and feed him. Mmmmm a half can of food. So for the next two days he swam sideways. Every time we went up to the bowl we would tap the glass and he would swim like he was fine. I was going to change is water but since he didn't look so good I thought why bother. So now that is why he has his name.
The first day we had him it was GREAT! I put him in the middle of the table, all six kids in chairs and they starred at him for 20 minutes so I could make lunch. Was pretty amusing for me to listen to the silly things they would say like....ewww he poops in his water, maybe he needs a mommy and he will fit in our pocket.
By the way...today he looks great and will be getting new water.
