One the Saturday after getting Spike the Third, I was so sad to find Bruce dead in the tank. It was a low blow. He was my favorite. The next day, Spike III died. He didn't even make it a week. So, I ignored the tank for a week. I was so bummed, and I was tired of spending money on these silly fish.
But then, one day Rachel climbed up onto the chair next to the fish tank to look at the fish that were no longer there, and I decided, "Okay, one last time." The next day, Rachel and I found ourselves at PetSmart and discovered that they would replace the fish if it died within 14 days. It was still within 14 days, and so they graciously looked up my receipt and gave me a replacement fish for free.
We crossed the 14 days with Spike IV on Friday, and so far, he's still with us. It may have been worth it all to get this fish because he cracks me up. He gets so excited when we're by his tank, especially when it's meal time.
