There's a Bobbit worm hiding in the bottom of James' aquarium. Every day it eats 2 fish. After two weeks, James adds 8 more fish to the aquarium. A week later, he discovers the Bobbit worm. If the aquarium had 60 fish to start with, how many does it have when James discovers the Bobbit worm? Let's think step by step and output the final answer after "####".

First find the total number of weeks the Bobbit worm preys on the fish: 2 weeks + 1 week = <<2+1=3>>3 weeks
Then multiply that number by the number of days per week: 3 weeks * 7 days/week = 21 days
Then multiply that number by the number of fish the worm eats per day to find how many fish it eats total: 21 days * 2 fish/day = <<21*2=42>>42 fish
Then add the number of fish James adds to the starting number of fish to find the ending number of fish: 60 fish + 8 fish = <<60+8=68>>68 fish
Then subtract the number of eaten fish to find the number of surviving fish: 68 fish - 42 fish = <<68-42=26>>26 fish
