Release day:Stage is set for Gozer's release at 1 p.m.

Tank officials spent the morning sizing up any potential threats. They calculated every known risk. They even checked the air. Now, with the green light from TankKeeper, little Gozer prepares for his big day -- release into the general population.

If the release of Orangejello is any indication, today is expected to go smoothly. Still, there are those who harbor fears.

"Gozer is smaller than Orangejello was when they released him," said one tense fish-watcher. "I won't be there to watch today. I have a bad feeling about this. I wish him the best, though."

Gozer was discovered hiding near Orangejello's crib on Aug. 3 by Cari Heelan. It is believed that Heelan's fish Fatty Arbuckle is Gozer's mother, even though his balloon belly has not yet fully developed.
