No more funerals for me, I want to talk about Emilio. Those of us fortunate enough to have met him, are aware that Emilio is pretty much the world's best goldfish. His joie de vivre is unparalleled. I am especially pleased by comparisons made between him and his cube-neighbor at work, Janna the betafish. Whereas Janna the betafish floats lifelessly at the top of the tank that our cubemate neglects to clean on account of the "plant" that "oxygenates the water," Emilio swims furiously around his clean, Crystal Geyser-filled tank, exuding lust for life.
Emilio is particularly adept at such fish-related activities as breathing under water, swimming, doing underwater headstands, and insinuating pleasant conversation. He is loving, passionate, driven, and possesses a unique sense of humor. Emilio is always up for a good time.
Favorite food: TetraFin Goldfish Flakes.
Favorite water: Crystal Geyser at room temperature with two precautionary drops of Seachem Prime water conditioner.
Pet peeve: Being scooped up in an espresso cup in order to have his tank cleaned.
Favorite activities: Travel, hanging out with friends, swimming laps.
Favorite color: Orange.
Fun fact: Originally intended as a feeder goldfish, Emilio was rescued from impending death at the pet store by my well-timed birthday and a tip from a former teammate.
