False alarm! 'Baby' sighting debunked

A report early Wednesday that a baby fish was spotted swimming in our community aquarium was false, authorities revealed moments ago.

"What one person thought was a fetus was actually feces," said an aquarium official who spoke on condition of anonymity. "We were hoping for another baby but we got the poo instead."

The addition last week of a second filtration system has greatly affected water flow inside the community aquarium. Debris that once languished on the bottom now flies around the aquarium, sometimes at great speeds. This flying debris is what officials believe inspired today's false alarm.

"It's not unusual for people to see something rush by, and we certainly understand why someone would see that and think we have another baby in our aquarium," the tank official said. "We expect more of these sightings in the future."
