The fishes on Fish TV! have been dealing with a lot of changes this week. New additions to the fish family and the threat of attacks by Catzilla have caused the members of fish village to behave quite nervously.
First, the arrival of General Vlad Tepes was indeed necessary for the continued cleanliness and overall order of the tank. As you are aware, Dr. Gonzo was hired to work on those pesky algae and fish behavioral problems, but his untimely demise forced the Fish Board to contact his cousin, General Vlad, to take over Dr. Gonzo's responsibilities.
Upon hearing about the demise of his cousin Dr. Gonzo, General Vlad enthusiastically agreed that Fish Village could use a new tank cleaner and "general" guard of the situations at hand. The Fish Board is glad to have you, General Vlad! So far, you are doing an excellent job!
Fish Village has also acquired a resident ballet company. The addition of five neon tetras to the village inspired the current tetras to form their own company, The Bolshoi. Excited to have ten members, The Bolshoi have been jete'-ing and pirouette-ing around the tank with gusto!
Bert and Ernie (rainbow fish), being the wheelers and dealers that they are, were upset with the addition of a resident ballet company to Fish Village. Not to be outdone by the flashy Bolshoi, they decided to recruit the cherry barbs for a singing group. They insisted on an additional three cherry barbs to form a fishy band. They named them the
Chee Wees. Bernice, the smallest Chee Wee cherry barb has been in a bit of a funk since being forced into musical slavery. We can only hope that Bernice gets with the program - Bert and Ernie can be quite demanding.
All the commotion in Fish Village awakened Catzilla from her slumber. She was not pleased that the fishes were interrupting her beauty sleep. Catzilla requires at least 20 hours of sleep a day, after all!
"WHO IS DISTURBING ME! ROARRRRRR (purrrr)!!!!" Catzilla was NOT happy.
Sensing the oncoming attack by Catzilla, The Captain sounded the fishy alarm. "Watch out (bubble, bubble) fishes! Catzilla is on her way and we MUST (bubble, bubble) be careful!", shouted The Captain. "HIDE!"
"Who disturbed my slumber??", shouted Catzilla. "Was it YOU, Captain Vince Lombardi Trophy, III?"
The members of Fish Village was scrambling to hide! Luckily, the Fish Board had acquired an additional rock and live plant for Fish Village, therefore enabling the inhabitants to hide safely away from the grips of Catzilla.
The Captain poked his head out and whispered to General Vlad, "I think this is a situation (bubble, bubble) that is better handled by a General, not a (bubble, bubble) Captain! You talk to her!"
Realizing that Fish Village was in danger, the Fish Board distracted Catzilla with kibble and a promise of shrimp. Catzilla demanded the kibble be delivered immediately and forced the Fish Board to sign a contract that the shrimp would be delivered within the week. She then ate most of the kibble and yawned. It was time for Catzilla to return to her beauty sleep.
Fish Village is safe, once again! But can they continue thwarting the attacks of Catzilla? Will the Chee Wees get a record deal? Will Bernice survive the constant nagging of Bert and Ernie?
Tune in next Friday to Fish TV! and find out!
Happy Fish Friday!

Two members of the fishy soul group, The CheeWees have gone missing! There was an explosion that occurred in the tank earlier in the week, sending the newly added aluminum plant to the top of the tank. After that, Bernice Cherry Barb, and an unidentified member of the CheeWees have gone missing.
The Captain was interviewed and reported that he was hanging out at the top of the tank chasing a member of the Bolshoi. The Bolshoi member vouched for him.
General Vlad was interviewed and claimed he had been sleeping under his rock during the explosion. No other member of the village could vouch for his whereabouts.
Yep. She's always there...when she's awake. Staring. Waiting. Plotting. . .
