Orangejello in love!Darling first look of tank's hot new couple

Our little baby is all grown up, and he has babes on the mind!

You read it hear first! Orangejello, the first baby fish born to our community aquarium, has found a girlfriend.

The Mickey Mouse platy has chosen Chubby Arbuckle, daughter of the late Fatty Arbuckle and Knuckles McGee, as his mate. The two were spotted kanoodling side by side today in the main tank plaza in front of the Parthenon.

"We think it's just great to see the new generation growing up," said Aubrey, the world's largest molly and matriarch of our community aquarium. "It's high time these kids starting thinking about the pro-creation of the next generation of fish."

Chubby is a fairly new addition to our aquarium, having been released from her net crib a mere two weeks ago. Sources told Freshwater Adventures that the two adolescent fish met at a party thrown by the Silver Dollars over the Thanksgiving holiday. Orangejello and Chubby have been almost inseparable ever since.

"Platys tend to be fairly monogamous," said TankKeeper. "When they find a suitable mate, they tend to stay with just that one fish until, you know, death do they part and all that."

Orangejello was born June 23, the first baby fish born and safely raised to semi-adulthood in our community aquarium. Orangejello's release party on Sept. 23 was an international event that was witnessed by millions of fish via satellite. Chubby was born Oct. 13 and grew quickly. She was released into the aquarium without fanfare on Nov. 16.

Orangejello's guardian, Corey Smith, declined to give specifics about the Orangejello-Chubby love affair but did make a general statement.

"No matter how rich or famous a fish is, he still has in his heart a desire to keep certain special moments private -- birth, death, marriage and love being chief among them. I hope everyone will give them the privacy they need at this special time in their young lives."
