OK...so once again, another dazzling urbanite has been evicted from the unit below me.  The filthy Nigerians who own the condo keep renting it out to deadbeat negros, in violation of the condo association by-laws, which stipulates the unit must be a primary residence for the owner.

But anyway, all her shit got put out on Thursday, in the rain, courtesy of the Baltimore County Sheriff's Department.

Among the usual dazzling urbanite bric-a-brac that's littering my courtyard--black with gold trim furniture, shoes, crockpots permanently stained with mac n' cheese burns--they put out her aquarium, filled with over a dozen different fish.

Poor bastards haven't eaten since at least Thursday;  so, I'm waiting for the Petco to open, and I'm going to buy a little net scoop and some fish food.  I've got a variety of pots and pans filled with water, waiting for them to reach room temperature, for the transplant.  I'm going to save them today.

The fish shouldn't have to die because their owner couldn't keep her shit straight.

Pics to follow.

How many freedmen live in your condo, anyways? I recall you posting a similar story before.

Ironically, the only ones in my building are the ones that keep moving in downstairs and getting booted.
I believe there's a theme there.

Have fun getting shot.

Why?  They're all gone.  Vamoosed. 

Also, there's a CPU down there I might pinch.  I dunno.

You should call PETA.  Watch them go after the Sheriff. 
PDH!

Seedy, check if this guy was around the house, he might be involved.  :P

Watch out for the other members of their crime gang.

Crime gang?  Fish?  Seedy with a net?  I sense hijinx!

OK, I seriously underestimated my fish count.  I've 40+ swimming in every container I own.  Glasses, lasagna dishes, and one big ugly-looking, camoflaged fucker with a flat belly and whiskers swimming in my crock pot.

Anybody know anything about fish?

Does it look like this?

Go steal the aquarium.  They're not gonna last long living in your coffee mugs.

Shouldn't you have thought about it beforehand?

Plan:
- identify what fish you got
- determine what environment they need
- go to your local pet shop (I dunno if you have shops specializing in fish; I'd go to one of those)


Alternatively:
- take pictures of the fish
- show those at the local specialists' shop and ask what to do
