FISH!

The first 5 people to come see me about a fish can take one home this week. Once they're gone, they're gone. Keep in mind you need to have at least a 10 gallon aquarium ALREADY SET UP. Do not go home and buy fish equipment and then ask me for a fish. Your tank should be set up long before you get any fish.

I must have a signed parent note saying you are allowed to bring home a fish.

Also, I make no guarantees as to how long it will live. Feed it once a day (not too much) and make sure you change some of the water every week (about 10-20% each week).


Update: All fish are spoken for. We might have more at the end of the year.
