Clown loach sues for right to divorce parent

The clown loach owned by Eric Jones is suing in Aquarium District Court for the right to divorce his sole guardian and parent, citing irreconcilable differences.

"My guardian has consistently proven himself unfit to be a parent," wrote the loach in his complaint, filed with the court on Tuesday. "He has embarassed me time and again and I must humbly beg the court to find him unfit to be a fish guardian."

The court papers are sealed, so Freshwater Adventures is unable to reveal the underlying causes of this action.

The clown loach will appear before the court early next week to plead his case. Also expected to testify -- a chinchilla under Jones' care. Jones could not be reached for comment.
