I have a fish tank at home, neither big nor small. It was given to me by my colleagues in the factory when we moved here many years ago.

When a colleague bought a fish tank, the boss, who knew how to do business, gave a few small fish as a gift. After arriving at my home, I naturally became the master who takes care of the little fish.

? At that time, I was very enthusiastic. I fed the small fish every few days and changed their water every once in a while... But the small fish were just like the flowers I used to raise. It will die if you keep it. I bought it after I died, bought it and kept it before I died... It seemed like I had been struggling for several years, until my patience and enthusiasm completely disappeared, and I declared that I "surrendered" and stopped raising it!

I stopped raising fish, and no one said anything to me, because I was not only at work, but also doing everything at home. If you don’t support it, then don’t support it. It doesn’t affect anyone. On the contrary, I feel free and at ease—at least I have one less thing to do!

…

In this way, the fish tank sat idle for many years. At the end of last year, one day my second nephew came to my house to play. He said, aunt, if you don’t have fish in your fish tank, give it to me! I readily agreed, but he never took me away.

In the first month of this year, they came to my house for dinner, and I said to my second nephew: "Didn't you say you wanted a fish tank? Why don't you take it away? Your uncle also agreed!"

The second nephew was very happy, but the second brother didn’t know if he was afraid that my wife would say that they were taking advantage of it, so he stopped me and said he didn’t want it, saying that he didn’t have a suitable place to put it in his house!

My lover actually sincerely agreed to send it - saying that they don't mind it as an old thing. But the second brother insisted not to.

? Later one night, during dinner, my lover suddenly said: "Since the fish tank has not been given away, you can buy a few more small fish and keep it!" I didn't know it at the time.

When I passed the flower market that day, I went around and bought eight small fish for ten yuan. I came home to change the water in the fish tank and put the fish in.

These small fish seem to have strong vitality - after raising them for more than two months, only one died (it seemed to die very quickly before); and they seemed to be particularly hungry. That day I brought back a tree stump from the fish tank at my elder brother's house. There was a lot of moss growing on the stump. His fish tank is small and the fish are very small tropical fish. The moss on the stump multiplied so quickly that the fish tank was filled up in a few days. The eldest nephew didn’t want to waste time cleaning up, so he planned to throw away the stump, so I took it back.

? I put the tree stump in my fish tank and saw the moss floating on it in the water, which added to the beauty and made me feel quite happy. After a while, I saw these small fish surrounding it. I thought to myself: "Small fish also love freshness. As soon as I put it in, they came to visit it!" Unexpectedly, when I came back to look at it half an hour later, the moss on the tree stump was already thin. Most of it.

"Brother's fish have never eaten this thing. Could it be that the moss was eaten by them?! I just fed them fish food at noon!" I muttered in my heart.

……

When I looked at the fish tank the next morning, the tree stump inside had become a bare pole - the moss had really been wiped out by the small fish!

……

On May Day, when I went to the flower market to buy flowers, I bought three water lilies and brought them home to put in the fish tank. Water lilies are floating on the water, and there are many buds underneath - they will bloom soon!

Sure enough, within a few days, a small white flower bloomed under one of the water lilies, which made me very happy and excited. But sadly, when I went to see it for the second time, the flowers were gone.

? "Did they eat me again?!" I opened the lid of the fish tank and found that one water lily was missing, and there were many small gaps on the remaining two leaves - they Not only eat the flowers, but also the leaves!

? I was just lucky enough to see water lilies blooming once. The buds underneath them were probably attacked and destroyed by these small fish when they first bloomed...

I have raised fish for a few years before, and I have never seen small fish so crazy - they eat everything they see! Could it be that they experienced famine years in their previous lives and all starved to death? If not, then they are all sperm! Do I still dare to support this?

? I am really worried that one day I put my hand into the fish tank to clean it, and the spermatozoic fish will suddenly attack me and eat my hand!

——Haha, this is the picture that often comes to my mind now!
