The Bubbly Review Societal Pages
The electric yellow cichlids told The Bubbly Review that all the sickness and death made them realize that life needs to be about more than just conflict.
“We’ve decided that life must be lived!” PUC said.
We asked if Geoffrey and Sassy’s relationship had anything to do with their decision, and both fish gaped as if they had hooks in their mouths.
“Heavens no,” Sweetart said. “They appear to be sweet, sure, but they are so needy. Sassy protecting his damsel in distress; Geoffrey constantly soothing his anxiety attacks. It’s so dramatic.”
“And traumatic,” PUC cut in. “We are independent fish who’ve decided to do life together.”
“But also apart. I don’t need PUC to swim by me every second of the day. I have my own place and he has his. He would never ask me to move out of the mouth of the dragon decoration. That’s one reason why we’re perfect together,” Sweetart said with a slight swish of her tail.
“It’s true,” PUC said with adoration. “We get together for meals and a swim around the tank, sometimes we bully Beetlejuice together, and then we go to our separate homes. It’s perfect. She’s perfect.”
When we asked if there was anything they’d like to see change in the other, Sweetart mentioned that she’d prefer it if PUC would not eat upside down or “belly-up,” as she called it. To this, PUC shrugged and then explained that it was the best way to get to the food stuck under the filter and his secret to eating well. A date has yet to be set for the ceremony, but the couple mentioned that they may not have one since no officiator lives in the tank. However, if they do, the authorities are not invited.
The Bubbly Review congratulates the couple!
