It took a while, but The Bubbly Review’s sources were able to find another file illuminating the last sad days of the old residents of As The Water Swirls. Here’s the latest information:
Case number: 30098
Date: 9 October 2012—19 October 2012
Reporting Officers: Inspector Seaweed and Inspector Fishnet
Case: As The Water Swirls Serial Murders
I’ve been on a stakeout for three weeks, and until today, no suspicious activity has occurred. Three divas moved into the watery, sometimes, haven. Three beta divas, to be exact. Within the first 30 minutes, I saw one beta bite the nose of a meddlesome cherry barb, who is twice her size, and thought it would be fun to nip at her. He is now staying away. Also, I see that I am already going to have to add tail repair to the tank, as two of the divas decided a tail-smacking and teeth-grabbing showdown needed to occur. This continued until the net broke them up. Now they are content to warily watch each other.
I’ve observed the watery-sometimes-haven for four weeks now, and other than the day the three divas moved in, it has been quiet. Well, as quiet as a society can be with three betas. The Diva sisters happily swim together cordially, like most sisters do, as long as their rooms stay undisturbed by the others and their curling irons are not tampered with. However, the male Cherry Barbs have become increasingly more aggressive, irritating the whole tank and the Authoritative Department of Peace. Finally, the ADP had to make a decision, send the Barbs to the Flushing Chair or find them a new home. In the name of fishanity and trying to avoid more murder, the latter option was chosen. The boys now find themselves in a 7.5-gallon tank together, where they seem to have reconciled their differences.
