My True Adventures with Tropical Fish

Book Cover & Preview Text
The Cichlid lasted alone for a few years. He would not die even if I forgot to feed him or did not clean the tank. For a while I added an algae eater to help clean the tank but he died from overeating before the tank was clean. By this time I was calling the Cichlid Charlie. Charlie simply would not die. When we returned after being away on a week’s vacation I found Charlie alive and waiting to be fed. Any time I sprinkled fish food in the tank for Charlie I could hear him slurping his food. The tank finally got so dirty I could not see Charlie, only knew he was there because I could hear him eating.
