"Why Can't We Keep Them?"

Last week, Wesley went for a walk with my dad and came back with these.

He caught these little fish using a bug net.  My dad carried them home in the bug container.  Wesley gave them a piece of bread to eat.  He was so excited to show me the fish he had caught.  He put them in his room beside the hermit crabs.  (The hermit crabs need their own blog post.) He wanted to keep them and was surprised that I made him take them back to the creek and let them go.  I really don't think they would have survived in that bug bucket.  And we were going to add them to our fish tank.

This is the second time Wesley has caught fish without a fish a net.
