Over the last week I started work on a storyline called the Seahorse that kicked out my Kids. It would be about a race of alien seahorses that I created called the Aqua. The Aqua are a race of very intelligent seahorse creatures that grow to the size of humans and can think like humans.
In the book the humans start keeping these creatures as pets without knowing how big the Aqua get nor do they know how intelligent they are.
The storyline would center around a female Aqua named Clarice who grows up from a Aqua fry to a adult with a human family named the Smiths. During that time as Clarice grows up with her human care takers she starts to learn about the world she was born into as a pet fish.
While the Smiths start out as run of the mill fish keepers with each passing year they must deal with ever growing fish keeping challenges in the form of big fish tank projects to keep Clarice apart of their family. And they also must ask at what point is their gilled family member Clarice a simple pet used for decorating a room or when she is equal to them as a family member.
This storyline will also address some of the troubles someone might feel when they start likening their pet fish more then their own family members preferably their own children. And last put not least this storyline will address major issues in the Monster fish world with a class of fish called tank busters. A tank buster is a pet fish that grows far to big for the most common home aquarium that is under a 1000 gallons.
This story line will show some of the extreme fish tank mega building projects devoted fish owners will go though to keep their gilled friends by their side at home. And last but not least this storyline address some of the ethics facing the classic children's storylines of someone taking in a baby animal and growing it into a adult but it out grows their care abilities. If they should release it back into the wild or not and why releasing a none native fish into the wild will not have a happy ending even for something as cute as a Aqua.
The Book will not be your run of the book that all fish need to be kept in the wild and in fact will be far from the truth. It will have a life lesson it's OK to keep fish but you have to be ready to provide for your pet fish needs.
