Funny story to share about those fish...

I was getting married (never went through thank god) and planning my wedding I decided I wanted to do live fish in a bowl shaped like a cocktail glass including a large paper umbrella and straw. So I wanted to do kissing Gouramis in the bowls! Cute right? Well we went to price them and talk to the pet store about buying about 100 of them. YIKES! Soooooo a couple weeks later I was telling my Dad about my centerpieces and he looks at me and says "unless you want 100 dead fish by the end of the reception I wouldn't do that!" LOL Come to find out they cannot live in a bowl like that for more than a few hours at most!!!! The fish store guy never told us this!!! Imagine if we DID go through with it and that happened?? How sad and GROSS! LOL
