Here's what happened.
We were growing garlic in the pickle jar. It was going well. Except the garlic grew really fast, and so we were always eating really garlic-ey things. Like really, really garlic-ey spaghetti sauce. And then the garlic's will to live sort of petered off.
So we needed something to put in our pickle jar since the garlic was dead. So we got two fish and a snail.
The orange fish is named Miranda after the Miranda Rights. Because she has the right to remain silent. Even though she is a fish. The silver fish is named Mohammad, because we wanted to give him a holy name. And the snail is named Lucifer. Because Ashley hates snails.
The thing is that apparently goldfish don't thrive in pickle jars. Also, you have to make sure there's enough oxygen in their water. Fish care. Who knew?
Valerie on the fish, "The fish are way more interesting than the garlic."
