Andrew and I have two beta fish. The first fish we had were from our wedding. We had fish as part of our decorations for our reception. We kept two of them and we had them for quite awhile. We have a fish tank that is separated in the middle to keep the two beta fish from attacking each other. One day Andrew left the lid off the tank and his fish ("Alex Smith") jumped over the divider and began attacking my fish ("Cosmo.") Andrew thought it was only appropriate that his Red fish representing the "U" beat up my blue "BYU" fish. Well that was basically the end of my fish. Andrew's died shortly after.
It took me awhile to get over that loss but finally we decided to get two new fish. Lately my fish has given me quite a few scares. It likes to bury itself in the rocks at the bottom. Even when I tap lightly on the tank it still doesn't move. Only when I shout loudly and shake it does it finally move and give me a bad look for waking her up. I thought I would share a picture.

After two years of my Utes on the losing side of the rivalry this post brought a huge smile to my face. Way to go Alex Smith!
Well my current fish is also very nasty and aggressive. He tends to attack the glass when anyone is near it, and he makes changing the water tough when he attacks one's hands. He's mean, and also a red fish, named Bogut.
Diane, I can just see you yelling at the fish to get out of the rocks. You're very protective and you'll be a great mom someday.
I think it's hilarious that Alex Smith kicked Cosmo's butt. But I am sorry for your loss. :(
