Last Friday I bought something during lunch…. not computer gadget, not nice food…. but fishes (alive one). One of them is called Gold Heros Severus (金菠萝). At first I don’t know its name, but seeing them quite cute, I caught 4 of them. They are quite dumb as when I inserted the net into the aquarium, unlike other genres which run for their life, they gathered around the net to see what going on. So I easily grabbed 4 of them.
