I actually had rabbits named Hall & Oates when I was younger. Oates went on to the great carrot patch first, but Hall was always my favorite anyways.

Oh no! I’m sorry to hear about Hashbrown…

@Darren: Well, it’s unfortunate my choice isn’t up to your high standards. lol. I like the names I’ve chosen. Except Hashbrown is no more.

I can live with your choice to not use any of the most excellent names that were offered. But Neil Patrick Harris and Hashbrown?

I can’t go for that. (No can do.)

Here’s hoping little Hashbrown weathers this storm. We’ve been through so much together—the divorce, the bankruptcy, the addiction years, the allegations of sex with a guppy....

Great names. We have a pet betta named Charlie. My oldest named him that a over a year ago when the neighbor brought him over to us when he was two. It’s amazing that fish is still alive. We are so NOT pet people. I’m not a plant person, either – all my plants die. Gah.

@Racheal: haha! Thanks. I can’t take credit for the tiny mustache joke, though. Ross actually said it first.

@dkaye: yeah, he could be shy, too. but I’ve had shy ones before. I’m hoping he starts moving around a bit more. My main concern is his lack of eating.

Good choice of names. I’ve got one who lives in a *giant* wine glass/goblet – his name is Elton – a flametail (get it?). Ok, ok – he’s really a crown tail – but he’s still flaming. Elton hangs out on the bottom too, or butts up to the side of his bowl next to the pink feather pen on the other side of the glass. He’s perfectly healthy, just a little “shy.”

Um, bring him in and see if they can recommend anything for him? How about, uh, replacement? If’n Hashbrown doesn’t snap out of it, they sold you a defective fish.

Or else I’m with tj. A stern warning and a timeout might do him some good.

Dude, I don’t comment often, although I read regularly, but I had to say…except for the obvious sadness of the possibility of Hashbrown going to the Big Toilet Bowl in the Sky, this entry made me laugh out loud. Seriously. I’m sitting at my desk with a case of the giggles, all thanks to you. Thanks for making my Friday that much better!

Have you tried grounding him, or taking away privileges? Damn teenagers …
