Trouble in the Water Swirls tank—already.

Although the cichlids are a gruff, no-nonsense sort, fifteen of them have agreed to live together in reasonable peace—despite the concerns of the plant neighbors. Unfortunately, one of the neighbors, Brutus, already has a criminal record (the neighbors who live in the tall plant are a bit smug about the situation confirming their initial worry). Despite Brutus’s criminal history, authorities attempted to work with him, but he has been too intent on becoming the neighborhood’s food and space cartel. Instead of letting it get out of control, authorities have put the brute in solitary confinement. He is awaiting transfer to his old neighborhood. Grateful for the authorities’ quick response to the violence, most of the residents seek regular conversation with authorities whenever they happen to be nearby.
