Tragedy has struck my dorm room! I have had a goldfish name Balooga. He lived in a special aqueous habitat of copper (II) chloride. However, he was allergic to pure copper (II). This was his one and only allergy. Dude, he was sweet though! He could do tricks and all. Anyway, last Sunday I shared my tuna sandwich with him during the Super Bowl. I even unwrapped the aluminum foil half-way him before putting it in the tank. In the first minute he was happy. But after three minutes he was slowing down. Five minutes after I gave him the sandwich, he wasn't looking so great. I thought that 100 yard touch down had him bummed out! But after 10 minutes, he stopped eating! When I got back from the bathroom five minutes later I saw a very sick Balooga, with a dirty tank. I figured he'd thrown up over the score. We jammed to the half time, but 30 minutes after I gave him his sanwich, Balooga jumped out of his aqueous habitat, into my arms and breathed his last breath! The Vet said he'd been poisoned by copper (II)! They think I did it! I need your help! Can you prove me innocent?
