She said it wouldn’t be so bad if they were bigger
I was working on the car when I heard my daughter yelling out the window. She told me there was something wrong with the fish tank. The bubbles were coming from around the heater, and all the fish were at the opposite side of the tank. She yelled to me and said a couple fish looked like they were trying to jump out. I cleaned the grease off my hands and headed into the house. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. The fish were huddled together, and one was definitely jumping out of the water. He wasn’t trying to jump out, but he was definitely jumping. I touched the side of the tank and I felt a frisson of electricity go through my fingers. I told my daughter to unplug the tank and do it quickly. As soon as she pulled the plugs out, the fish scattered, but not very far. They ended up floating to the top of the tank, and I could see them spasming. The tank heater had gone haywire and the salt water was causing the fish to be electrocuted. My daughter was crying because the fish tank heater killed her fish, and she wanted to sue the people who created the tank heater. I told her the heater was almost three years old, and things happened. There was salt around the base, and the salt could have caused some malfunctioning. My daughter looked at me and shrugged. She said it wouldn’t be so bad if they were bigger. We could have had them for lunch..
