In with the new frog,down with the pollywog

Our new frog, William Jefferson Amphibian, makes Frank the Frog look like a pollywog among frogs. The new frog if more outgoing and adventurous than the frog we have all come to know and love for his bizarre penchant for secrecy.

While Frank spends most of his time hiding under foliage, Slick Willy as he has come to be known spends large amounts of time exploring the tank bottom or swimming up and down the tank walls.

"We didn't know a frog could be so freakin' charming," said Dana Owens, fish-watcher and occasional frog-hater. "It seems we were wrong to judge all frogs by the actions of one silly pollywog like Frank."

This news comes as no surprise to Slick Willy's old Hollywood friends, who are quick to point out that the frog made a name for himself as a model for a name-brand line of frog and tadpole food products in the late 1990s.

"He was big, man. Huge, even," said a frog who remembers Slick Willy's TinselTown days. "He wanted to be a hand model but he doesn't, you know, have hands. That held him back from his dream, you know."

Other newcomers to the aquarium are the three new female mollies that have successfully divided the attentions that Knuckles McGee, male marauder of the deep, once focused solely on Fatty Arbuckle.

It is hoped that the addition of more female mollies will lead to the splish-splash of more baby fish in the near future.
