Goldfish in loo

Currently investigating a series of seemingly unrelated deaths in the fish world. Shebunkins, Comets, Danios, White Clouds; none have been spared. Coming on the tail of the recent “Catfish in the Filter” disaster of late 2007, the cold-blooded residents of LilliPilli Land are nervous, very nervous. The short residents perform head-counts with obsessive regularity; scanning tank/pot bottoms with well-trained, red-rimmed, ready-to-overflow-with-tears eyes.

And the short residents are a distrustful bunch, and have requested the recording of each disposal burial ceremony that they cannot attend due to prior commitments, lest I feed the dead to the cat resident…again.

    A land full of distrustful short people. It really is Lilliput!

    I have killed more fish than I care to admit.

    I’m much better with dogs and humans. Even cats.

    Hi.

    I love that your mind thought of photographing the inside of a loo with a fish in it, dead…

    A big fish conspiracy.

    Urm, took me a while to realise it’s a shot of the toilet bowl. Haha.

    One fish in our tank ate the other fish, probably out of hunger or anger. It wasn’t even our fish. We were also looking after them for one short person next door who have more fish than he could take care of….

    Omg, when I saw this picture, at first I though “my, what a cool effect, I wonder how she took that picture”. Not realizing I was looking at the white ceramic of a toilet bowl, it looked like the (live) fish was floating in a small pocket of water on a white background. I’ve figured it out since. May her RIP.
