I live in Catawissa, MO with my beautiful wife Torri and my son Muggy. I built our house and the studio on 5 acres where we have a German Shepard named Hoppy (who is getting more and more vicious the older she gets, so “BEWARE OF DOG”. Seriously.) It is really nice out here in the sticks with a lot of forest and abundant wildlife. We like to BBQ on the back patio and swim in our pool. We have a large aquarium with a big mean Oscar, a foot-long Plecostomus, two Angel fish and a Black Bug-eyed Goldfish, who looks like he might not make it much longer – I suspect the Oscar torments him at night.

Update 1-16-2009: Yes, the Oscar relentlessly attacked the Black Bug-eyed Goldfish (which I have since found is properly called a Black Moor) until he actually ate one of his telescopic eyes, resulting in his demise. He also apparently killed one of the angel fish; however, this is only speculation as there were no witnesses, and the angel fish’s floating corpse showed no discernible damage prior to his unceremonious flushing.

Needless to say these events upset Torri and Muggy, but I tend to accept things like this philosophically: they are only fish, and big fish will always kill little fish. Here is a video of our aquarium of terror:
