If a fish does pass, buy another one. Your kids will believe that they had have the record for longest living goldfish/Betta. Once day when ‘H’ emails the Guiness Book folk and they come knocking at the door to see this miraculous fish, you have another material for a great show. Just sayin’.
I’ll proof the next post.
