Particular Fish

I had a customer and her children come into the store today.
And they wanted fish.
But not just any type of fish.
They wanted specific fish.

It didn't matter what kind they were....
So long as they were pregnant.

The children were obsessed with the idea of having a fish that would have babies.
Which would narrow the list down to the livebearers -the platys, mollies, and guppies.
As the egg layers...its harder to get those to breed.

They ended up with a platy and a couple mollies that were pregnant. And also decided to grab one of our mystery snails before calling it good.

Only, they weren't too quiet about their desire for pregnant fish.
And other customers overheard them.

lol.
So I ended up catching pregnant mollies twice more in a row -funnily enough they also wanted snails-
For two other sets of customers who wanted to have fish that would have babies for them to see.

But boy by the end of that run of catching mollies, was I tired.
My eyes ached from the strain of trying to find the pregnant mollies among the 50 or so other mollies in the tank.
Because those fish don't just sit still.

Thankfully I only had to do that three times in a row.
But I ended up spending two hours at that fish wall, catching tons of other fish as well. *shakes head*
Not sure what brought all the fish wanters in today but in they came.
