So how interesting... Mordecai, who has been ravenously eating pinkies and not touching fish this whole time, switched suddenly to fish only last night-- and not only that, he went after the LIVE fish swimming in the water for the first time!!! He has never gone into the water after fish since I've had him... so I've been feeding them in the same tank, since Miriam only eats fish, and basically I could feed them at opposite ends of the tank. But last night I walk by and lo and behold, both of them are darting around in the water to catch the fish! Which I realized was a bad thing, as they could catch each other...

I wonder what clicked in his little brain! "Oh, drat. Same old thing again... sigh... can't she do something different with this pinkie meat? Saute it with some onions and garlic or something? A light braise? Hey-- what's that? Why, Miriam gets SUSHI? I think I'll join her!" lol :-)
