My New Companions - Blue Lobsters

It was yesterday that my friend Ganesh and I were whining about how boring we were everyday. Every time we see someone doing something stupid, we will comment that these people got "No life". Well actually, when we look at ourselves, sometimes we are so bored.. that we have no life as well. Out of the blue, we decided to get some "life" in the house. So off we went to the pet shop and we saw some interesting stuffs. Our main focus was initially to buy some fish, so we decided to look around. We saw some Oscars, Arrowana's, some crappy fish, angel fish, blar blar, and there it was..... Blue Lobsters. Now that's something interesting. ^_^

So today, we went to the pet shop and bought ourselves a pair of blue lobsters. Each lobster costs us RM13, and we also bought some baby fish (Poor fellas....) for RM1, and some sinking pellets for RM11. I already had a tank so we didn't need that. We went home excited about our new purchase. We set up the tank, pour the water in, put the lobster in and than threw in those little fishies. After that we decided to sit there and admire our lobsters for awhile.... We were quite happy at the start, seeing them so active and all. But after that, we got a little panicky and were like "Why the hell are they so active? They weren't like that in the shop and it seems like their struggling for air" That's when trouble came!!! The little fishies started to overturn one by one. They were dying, REAL FAST! And we were like "Oh Crap! CHLORINE!!!". Before we know it, all the little fishies were DEAD! So off to the pet shop again to get ourselves some Anti-Chlorine. At the mean time, I was trying to "rescue" the lobsters by removing the water until they could breathe from the air outside while I also cleared all the dead fishies. It was a......a... erm.... very sad sight, LOL! Sea of dead fishes, hahahahahha!!!!!

Well anyway, we manage to get the anti chlorine and got ourselves some new baby fishies as well. Till now, the baby fishies are still alive (Except for those that became lobster food), so I guess everythings a'okay! Here are some pics of my new companions, a pair of blue lobsters! ^_^
