Fishy fish: Solution #13

People say having an aquarium is good for your mental health, though I'm not sure if that's true during the set-up phase. I've never been so worried about my plants dying as I am about my new fish dying. Great practice for confronting mortality in general perhaps.

Yet now the movements of the shiny school of fish are endlessly captivating. They split up, they sit alone, they swim together, they chase a little bit and then relax. And the team of shrimp at the bottom are even more entertaining, a mass of flying legs yellow legs. They fly effortlessly in swooping trajectories across black gravel.
