Vittles in Hell

So I have this toilet-bowl of a little 5 gallon aquarium. For months there's been no light, no external food, and no filtration. No on is suprised that the crawdad that killed my two adorable dwarf puffers is still alive in that cesspool. Crawdads could live in Dick Cheney's moral fiber and survive indefinitely. What's totally shocking is that the Florida Flagfish I bought to eat my algae is still kicking. Feebily. Thinly. The only thing he's had to eat in that period of time has been the algae I originally bought him to eat, but I suspect that 5 months of no-food later, it hasn't been either tasty or plentiful. So finally I start spending time in the master suite again, felt guilty, re-started the filter, changed the bulb, and started feeding him Tetra Min Tropical Flakes.

And he spits them the fuck out.

If there's ever been a more damning criticism of a food product, *I* sure as hell haven't seen it.

"Tetra Min?"

"No. No thank you."

"I'll pass."
