Authorities researched natural cichlid habitats and found that those living in African lakes preferred homes in small caves. Thinking this might help lessen the savage atmosphere, they removed the fun decorations like the dragon, SweetTart’s home, and replaced them with caves.
Enraged, SweetTart put in a complaint and started bashing PUC in the face with her tail.
“It was my home,” she told reporters. “How would they like it if I took their home away?”
SweetTart has a valid point. We confronted authorities to get an explanation and were surprised when they responded with a statement:
“We understand SweetTart’s anger and are sorry for victimizing her in this way. However, we have the rest of the tank to consider. We are tired of seeing Madame Geoffrey and Ninja Smee play dead in the plants. They have scared us several times into thinking they are dead, and it isn’t until we press our faces against the glass to see if they are breathing that we are assured it is a farce. The caves create not only more homes but more hiding spots.
“There is also the issue that SweetTart is getting too big for the dragon’s mouth. Every time we clean, she refuses to come out, and we spend several minutes shaking the decoration until she pops out. We have no way to safely break the decoration without harming her should she get stuck. We bought her a charming little cave to replace the dragon.”
SweetTart was not appeased by this statement and marched around the tank screaming, “The authorities want a homeless population.”
Authorities simply pointed to the small cave and walked away.
SweetTart moved into the cave last night but has not stopped hitting PUC. Tired of the abuse, PUC has started hitting her back and not coming to her defense when Brain Einstein starts chasing her. We hope they go to counseling to reconcile their differences. PUC mentioned he was willing if SweetTart went to anger management classes. We cannot print SweetTart’s response to that.
