The Fish Law of Nutrition<br />

The fish law of nutrition states that your fish will eat all food that is unfit for<br />

aquatic consumption, so make sure that you routinely check your tank for<br />

foreign objects that may have fallen into the water. The second part of this<br />

law states that any uneaten food will fall directly into an area that cannot be<br />

seen by the human eye. Because of this problem, it is important to feed your<br />

fish small meals several times per day, instead of dumping half a can of flake<br />

food into the tank all at once.<br />

The Fish Law of Company<br />

The fish law of company states that all aquarium fish will lethargically lurk in<br />

a corner or disappear behind decorations at the exact moment when your<br />

visitors arrive to see them. The fish will return to their normal activity level<br />

after dark, even if they are not nocturnal.<br />

If you want to successfully show your fish to your company, arrange to have<br />

your friends come over at a time when you would normally give your fish a<br />

special treat. This will allow your friends to get a glimpse of your prize pets.<br />

The Fish Law of Potential Energy<br />

The fish law of potential energy states that a fish’s energy can be stored indefinitely<br />

and will only be released when the aquarium hood is opened and a<br />

direct escape route is in sight. To avoid this problem, make sure that your<br />

aquarium hood fits securely.<br />

The Fish Law of Psychic Felines<br />

Chapter 26: Ten Scientific Fish Laws<br />

The fish law of psychic felines states that any cat within a hundred miles<br />

of your aquarium will be able to zero in on, sneak through an open window<br />

or door to get at, and physically engulf any fish that has jumped from your<br />

tank — before you can cross the room to save it. Your fish are fair game, so<br />

make sure to keep a distrustful eye on any other pets that are living in the<br />

same household or neighborhood.<br />
