Fish Update (because I know you've been concerned)

I'm such a sucker for animals, it's ridiculous. Not a big enough sucker to have like 5 dogs, 12 cats, 3 turtles, 8 birds and 6 hampsters of anything, just big enough to feel sorry for stupid fish. Do fish even have feelings? Do that even know what's going on around them? Someone please answer that for me.
So we bought "Pete" who is approx. 6 inches long and put him in a fish bowl. Well, the next day I was feeling really sad for the dumb fish because he was so big and his home was so tiny. Of course I had to go buy him a 10 gallon fish tank and a little buddy so that he won't be lonely. Of course.
Now we have 2 fish... Pete and Little (named by Hendrix) who are free to roam in a ginormous tank! I was thinking about getting a few more fish because all of the kids that come over LOVE them but realized how smelly fish are while I was cleaning the tank out today. (Side note: It's been like 4 days since we got these little guys and the tank was already cloudy and gross looking.) If TWO fish are stinky, what would FIVE smell like? I don't think I want to know so we're probably just stickin with two.
