oh wow! that's not bad at all! i would realllly love one of these (hopefully my boyfriend sees this ) the only problem is, i'm living at my parents house right now and they have a dog...not sure they would really wanna share a house together...

 

She is my Co-pilot.

 

they do not cost much to keep, they eat very little food, but will scarf down a huge pile of hay over night

we got ours about a week ago, at first he was a bit nervous, but now he comes to the cage door to be let out.

He will let you hold him for a little bit, but he has to much energy and would rather run all over the room, then climb all over you if your laying on the floor.

They sleep all day, and its funny because if you wake him up, he just gives you this look and pushes you away from him with his paws then goes back to sleep

they poop a lot too, but its like hard and dry so its not really that bad

they do bite also, but its like a little nibble, its there way of showing affection

i love him, he makes an awesome pet, and its so funny to watch him take a dust bath



On a side note, Nightglide, that is an awesome pic!

 

aww well i definitely want one!! thanks for all the help!

 

so im getting some new fish for my tank. its a lame 35 gallon so i cant have too many fish.

i was thinking about getting some chichlids, but does anyone have any suggestions?! <<keep in mind- fresh water tank>>

 

Please please please please don't get your cichlids from Petsmart/Petco. I got mine from this guy because he's local to me, but you should easily be able to find someone to ship if you don't have anyone local. Look at the cichlids on the site I'm linking and compare them to the ones at Petsmart/Petco. It's night and day difference:

It was also a lot cheaper than buying from a big box pet store. For the 20-25 cichlids I bought (2 inch when I got them), it was right around $100. The only ones I have that can be bought at Petsmart/Petco are my Yellow labs and Frontosas. I paid $5/fish, where you could easily pay $15-30/fish at stores.

Here's some pics of mine:

 

omg WOW! how big is your tank?! and where would i look to find someone to ship?! and hoooow do you ship fish?

 

through the ocean or river, you just have to pray they arent eaten, killed, or loose sense of direction on their way

 

I have many tanks lol:

1 55 gallon (misc cichlids shown), 1 50 gallon (frontosas), 1 40 gallon (5 Kilesas), 1 35 gallon (wife's misc freshwater), 1 10 gallon (cichlid babies).

I plan on setting up a 220 gallon for the Frontosas once I buy a house this summer. They will get 8-12 inches long and I have 10 of them.

I also want to set up a 24 gallon nanocube with salt water, but also need to wait until I get a house and see if I have time or a place to put it lol.

Shipping fish isn't that bad. If you get them from a good breeder, they will know what to do. It isn't very cheap to do, so I'd recommend trying to find someone local. Look around on www.cichlidforums.com or www.cichlid-forum.com and see if you can find somebody.

Hi everyone,

I decided it's time again for a pet. I really would like a kitty but mom is terrified of them (bad childhood memories) and twin is allergic. Also I would only get a persian one and there would be the hair issue.

So then I thought about a bunny but bunnies kinda stink and I wouldn't want to keep them in a cage cos they like to run in open fields.

So then I thought bout hamsters. But they die soon and I dunno how I would react to that. Then fishes came to mind but I'd like a pet to play/touch with.

Any advice?
