Fish can be amazingly tough. I recall the guy, (none / 0) (#7)

one of many fish heads I really like, except that he is more sensitive and thoughtfu; than I, who was hosting a party. Evidently a guest got sick and threw up in the fairly large tank with the firemouth cichlids.

"What happened?" I anxiously asked.

My friend replied something along the line of, they lived. I did have to change all the water the next morning.

Just amazing! Note I wasn't at that party. Bet the firemouths wish they weren't either! ;)

Now this sounds like a fish story. :)

Good Night and Good Luck! (after tonight's featued attraction)

I'm going to make the assumption that the vomiting was alcohol induced. I'm surprised that the fish could survive that mixed with variuos stomach acids and what not. I wonder if the fish got drunk?

more amazing. I don't think (in this case) my informant was pulling my leg though! Perhaps the sick individual had a bad aim.

A. I wouldn't have hosted such a party. B. If someone wandered in to a gathering of mine and pulled that stunt, I wouldn't be here. Probably serving time. ;)

Good job of reading between the lines Shell Guppykillisnailaholic!

ATB!
