This couple needs help. Any advice?
Quote:Exotic fish wiped out in domestic fight
WALNUT CREEK - Police arrested a woman on charges of animal cruelty after she killed a tank of exotic fish in retaliation during a fight with her husband.
Sheriff's deputies responded about 6:15 p.m. Friday to reports that a couple were fighting at a home in the 200 block of Ludell Drive, Sheriff's spokesman Jimmy Lee said.
The husband had ripped out the cords to the home's telephones and tampered with the couple's cars, preventing his wife from making calls or leaving the residence, Lee said.
Deputies responding saw the wife, in apparent retaliation, dump powdered bleach into the couple's 300-gallon salt water tank, killing all the exotic tropical fish inside, Lee said.
The 34-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of animal cruelty, which holds a penalty of up to one year in jail and a $20,000 fine.
Deputies also arrested the husband, 39, on suspicion of tampering with a phone line and car.
Both posted bail Saturday morning from the Martinez Detention Facility.

Oy vey. Or... Koi.. vey..
I can see all that happening, not that I think it's a good idea.
They both suck.
I'd rate damage to cars below hurting living things.
He was an arsehole, but hurting things to retaliate is unacceptable...especially things with feelings.
those poor fishies...
Also if they're living in salt water, they aren't "Tropical" fish, those are fresh, warm water fish, "Marine" would be the prefered term.
I certainly don't agree with harming animals.
There is always a better way......
A couple that we once knew (he=arsehole, she=good friend of my wife) once had a massive row, and she came round to us for some support.
Apparently, mid row, he (a mad TV addict by the way), walked into the kitchen as she was on the phone to her mum, telling her how nasty he was being.
He produced a large pair of scissors, smiled his Dr Evil smile and ceremoniously cut through the handset cord.
He quietly put the scissors down on the table, and walked away chuckling.
She waited a few minutes, picked the scissors up, walked into the lounge and cut the TV ariel plug off the cable. She put the plug into her handbag, and drove off over to our house.
It was the only TV in the house, and he couldn't even phone to find out where she was, as he had ruined their only phone.
They separated soon after.
She sounds like a looney-tuna.
Although it sounds like she has plenty to carp about.
Blacksmithn, i begin to think you have a disease.
It's that damned thread about the shoe thief. I started punning and can't seem to stop! I think I need a 12 step program.
Oh God! I did it again!
I hope their soles went to a nice plaice.
I don't want to flounder around in this mess, Miss Law might start whaling on me . . .
I'm gone . . .
Their death should be a reminder to us that we should always carp-e diem.
I say we should put them both in the same cell with a few weapons and let them kill each other. Then we'd be rid of both of them. What nutcases!
it sounds like they are made for each other.
They should throw the book at her, especially since she did it on porpoise.
On the whole, I'd say their marriage is fin-ished...
You need help...I can think of a nice plaice you can go to rest and restore your sole.
Net right now, thanks. I still sense plenty of oppor- tuna- ty on this thread.
Gee, it's great to have Blacksmith back on A2k with us. And that's no line...
