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.

Who ya gonna call?
People, prepare for the coming of Gozer!

Our little molly Gozer isn't exactly a baby anymore, and Friday he will be released into the general aquarium population.

Gozer was discovered hiding next to Orangejello's crib on the morning of Aug. 3. He experienced unprecedented growth during the first month in the crib with Orangejello, but baby Lollipop has since surpassed him in size. Gozer bears yellow and black markings similar to those of Fatty Arbuckle, who is presumed to be his mother.

While many fish-watchers are excited about the impending release of yet another baby fish, some fish-watchers fear that tank officials have become too complacent since Orangejello's safe release on Sept. 23.

"I just don't see why we can't keep our babies in the crib where they're safe," said Tracy Benbrook, fish-watcher. "I see no pressing need to let them go. Fish are in such a rush to grow up these days. In my day, you didn't leave the crib until you were ready to school."

When tank officials announced the release today, they made it clear that all precautions were being taken.

"We base this decision on the best possible advice," TankKeeper said. "We have consulted with the best ichytologists at PetSmart, who all agreed that it is now safe to free Gozer. In fact, they laughed at us when we told them we've had a fish in a crib for two months. They said two weeks was adequate."

Orangejello has thrived since his release two weeks ago. As expected, the bright orange fish has become one of the most famous fish in our aquarium.

"When you're raising your fry, you hope to instill good values and all that," said Orangejello's owner, Corey Smith. "I am so proud of the kind of fish Orangejello has become. He's really a fantastic little guy."
