The Nemo Reenactment

Jordyn and Tanner got some fish a while back. Well this morning, Jordyn's female guppy had babies. Tanner was so excited, he said "I am an uncle!...". We told him that as an uncle he would have to take good care of those babies. And that he would need to make sure to milk the mother every day to feed them. Tanners response... "How do we do that?" Couldn't keep a straight face after that....

But then we noticed that Tanners fish, a Tiger Bar (or something like that) seemed to be hunting. And he was, he was looking for all the babies wanting to eat them. As he is stalking around the tank like Jaws, the male guppy kept slamming into the Tiger Bar and they seemed to be fighting as the female guppy was searching for the babies. Looked like a bizzar remake of "Finding Nemo".

The Tiger spotted one of the babies and zipped after it as the male guppy was thrashing away at him. Tanner and I both thought the tiger got the baby and apparently the male guppy did to. Because he started flitting about the tank like he was searching for the baby. And if we listened really hard, we could hear him yelling "Nemo.... Nemo...."




The following is Tanner telling everyone how many were saved when they finally got the divider in place.

I love how confused Tanner was by the whole "milking the mama" thing. LOL
