But the fish... well, um.... that was the end of the fish. :/

This is some strong love that is able to kill fish!

Me and a friend of mine raised African Cichlids back in the middle to late 70's for a few of the aquarium shops in the local area. We had 50+ tanks at his house. Most were 30 to 55 gallons tanks. That was about the time that Piranhas were becoming the next big thing in aquariums, if you can remember that.

I was a single father raising my 2 oldest sons when I first got the bird. I used to hear the kids talking in their room late at night when they should have been sleeping. When I would go in there to check it out, the boys were fast asleep and it would end up being Opus sounding like that through a closed door. They can mimic anything. That was the first time I ever caught myself talking to myself.
