Freshwater Adventures

Freshwater Adventures chronicles the story of one company's aquarium full of tropical fish. Our fish are as much a part of our company as we are, and we hope you enjoy their adventures as much as we do.

Babies!
Arbuckle's last child, new molly
discovered alive in community tank

Two new baby fish were discovered today hiding in the roots of our community aquarium's left-side plant. The little fish brought a dash of happiness in a day overwise clouded by grief.

The first baby, a tiny yellow fry, is the last child of Fatty Arbuckle, who died earlier in the day.

The second baby, a much larger marble molly fry, is only slightly smaller than Lollipop, the largest of the Corner Twins.

"Apparently Fatty's last act of life was to give birth to this child," TankKeeper said. "As sad as we are, we are overjoyed to have another living reminder of our friend Fatty."

Ironically, it was Fatty's owner, Cari Heelan, who discovered the two fish and who therefore now owns the two little fry. Despite her grief, Heelan found the strength to name the two fish.

"Fatty's child shall be named Chubby in honor of his late mother," Heelan said. "The other will be named Bardo."

Reporters were told that Bardo means "the intermediate existence between death and reincarnation -- a stage varying from seven to forty-nine days, after which the Karmic body from previous lives will certainly be reborn."

Heelan said she considered both names "supremely appropriate."

Tank officials believe Fatty gave birth to the babies and was then attacked maliciously by the father, Knuckles McGee.

"If there's one thing we know for sure, it's that the tragic, tainted love story of Fatty Arbuckle and Knuckles McGee will really have no end. Now it will live on through the lives of the three children -- Gozer, Chubby and Bardo."
