A true story

My daughter plucked Sam from the wild. At the time he was about nickel sized. That was nine years and three tank upgrades ago. Recently we learned that Sam is not a boy after all. She's about the size of a cereal bowl. She's eaten all but one feeder fish in the latest batch. It comes within striking distance. but Samantha seems to have no interest. I think she enjoys the companionship.
