I return home and Maurice, who ended up staying at my apartment (alone! for three weeks!) after all due to slight technical difficulties in fish transfer, is alive. Or is he? This Maurice is smaller and less flamboyant of tail than the Maurice I remember. Not to mention the characteristic white streak in this fin is gone.
Suspicious. I have a few theories. First, and most absurd, is that the maintenance staff noticed that he was dead and replaced him with a similar looking fish. Second, Maurice "thinned out" due to his lack of diet and company and his new appearance is such a result. Third, I'm losing it. This is highly possible.

My contacts in the federal government have alluded to the existence of a grainy home video related to the Curious Case of Maurice being analyzed right now in an undisclosed midwest FBI crime lab. Supposedly it may depict the shadowy form of an apartment maintenance attendant carrying a baggie of water with a fish-shaped object in it behind your apartment, over the picket fence, on the grassy knoll. You may make some serious bank on this if Oliver Stone purchases the film rights.
