As he was pumping out water in the tank, he saw a fish swimming around in the muck. He grabbed a bowl and rescued the fish and put him in our fish tank.
Now you may be wondering how this goldfish got into our water tank. Well last summer, Mike went to the pet store and bought six goldfish to live in the pond. After a few days of living in the pond, the fish disappeared. Mike didn't think anything of it, because he figured the neighborhood cats had eaten the fish. So you can imagine his surprise finding one of the fish alive eight months later.
After rescuing the first survivor, Mike fashioned a net to find the other fish. So far he's rescued four of the original six. Our fish tank is a little cozy now, but all the survivors seem to be happy swimming in clean water with lots of food.
