Say Hello To My Little Friends
Featured above are my new aquatic friends, from left to right they are Reginald, Leopold and Willis. I’ve decided today that fish are the perfect pets for me for several reasons. 1) They can’t pee, poop or barf on you or any of your belongings. 2) It's unlikely they'll maul a two year old child 3) They don’t require any effort, no walking, no sifting through their droppings, and no changing shavings. Now I figure some of you might be thinking you still need to clean the water and change the filter and stuff but you’re wrong. If you sent up a mini eco-system with snails and only feed as much as they eat you don’t have to clean your tank often. As a matter of fact at one point I had some fish for 6 years without ever cleaning the tank but I did pop in a few filters. 4) They don’t make any noise unlike a certain hedgehog who tried to ensure I woke up at 4:30 a.m each day 5) They don’t cause me to go into sneezing fits 6) Convenient burials, can anyone say flush? On that note, any bets on how long the cold cut trio will last?

Who named those sons of bitches? That's right!
Well, two of them anyway.
Pretty guppies!
We have three hatchet fish that have lasted about two years. We tried snails, but they died on us. :(
Hey... I'm new to the site, but enjoy your posts.
Those are beautiful fish. Definitely decent pets.
Cute fishies!
Just remember to keep your sushi eating friends away from the tank!!!
Rest in peace, Leopold.
It had to be the one YOU named. :P
I used to raise guppies, bery pretty.
Mine met a sad demises in a variety of ways. Once the ehater malfuntioned and they were all boiled to death. Another time the tank developed a leak while was on an extended trip and all the water leaked out, ruining the foor and rugs and dessicating the fish--speaking of which--one of their favorite things to do was to leap out of the tank at night and dry up stiking to the floor before morning.
The best part of that was the dreams I had, recurring dreams of them swimming in the air above the tank at night, venturing further and further away. They had to be back by down or they'd fall to the floor and shrivel, but they were so eager to explore they sometime risked swimming too far through the air.
