Swimming around
The tank
Colorful like a
Rainbow

Jumping up to
Catch food
Swimming up and
Down getting some
Air

Rough and slimy
Scales touch the
Glasses
Rough like a
Sandpaper










Fighting for the best
Spot to hide
Gliding through the
Water like an
Airplane

Eating and sucking
On rocks like an
Algae eater

Growing bigger and
Bigger as each year
Passes

Dying and floating
On the edge of the
Surface as they
Grow old
