They are lovely. I used to have tropical fish when I was younger. I had Neons, guppies, angel fish, cat fish.

Wow Abbi you've got a mini zoo :lol:

I love chinchillia's. Are they difficult to keep?

Abbi

Yeah it's a mini zoo!!! They are easy to keep but people don't realise when they buy them that they live to chew - that is all they do! - and they are also not a pet you can sit on your lap and cuddle they are not over keen on being handled - I have two so they keep each other company - they are very cute.

Wow Abbi. I've seen them in pet shops and have always been fascinated by them.

i used to have chinchillias and your right they love to chew. i also had 2 and used to let them out to run around the room most nights. mine would sit on you and jump over you but hated being held.
i was very suprised to find out that they can live to be 18 :shock:

Abbi

Wow fantastic fish and I love the bowl.. it looks so clean? Normally fish tanks/bowls are murky - how do u keep it liek that? do u have to change the water often? or does it have a 'pump' thingy? n where did u get it from cos I want one lol!

n more pics of the 'zoo' please!

Abbi

he he he - 1000's questions! It's called a Biorb you can get them from some pet shops but they sell them a Kiovision.co.uk, mine is a 30 liter one, it gets a partial water change every 2 weeks, it's got a pump in the centre - they are quite hard to get started with - I have been very lucky and no fish have died but a friend on mine has one and he is on his 5th fish!! You can only put on fish in then a month later add another one - and you have to be careful not to overstock - there is some bad press about them, but as I say I have been very lcuky - I really like it.

i couldnt get that site to work? :-(

why do u have to control the fish addtions? (i dont have a clue about fish! - haha maybe we could start a fishpagers website lol).

It looks fab tho still can't believe how clean looking it is!

Abbi

Because of the waste - if you put too many in at once it will not break down quick enough and poision the fishes! But once you have had it 4/6 weeks there is enough bacteria on the rocks at the bottom to break to down quicker and another fish can go in - but personally I would not put more than two in - I haven;t and they are healty and alive so I must be doing something right!

just been to the site - your colour is defo the best one! maybe when we get a new kitchen we'll get one :-) I like the fact u can get a heater and so put some tropical fish in there2! :-)

Only thing that is annoying tho and makes you want to Boycott the product is that it is made in the UK by a UK company, and will cost you £85 with a light in the UK... however if you buy it in the US it will cost about £65 !!!!!!!!

I forgot to tell you guys about Blackie :shock: He was a stray cat we found in our shed one xmas. I was about 15 at the time.

He hated fish. He would come to the edge of the fish pond with me when I went to feed our goldfish and as soon as they appeared at the surface he was off. He wouldn't eat fish flavour cat food neither :?

Mags

Awww, you attract them all Nae! A cat that doesn't like fish and a dog that's frightened of cats! Bless them all!

Naomi
08-01-2005, 10:58 AM
Mags I do have a knack of attracting the rejects :roll:

Not you guy's of course, I'm not saying your rejects or anything :lol:

Abbi
08-01-2005, 11:19 AM
That's cute - it's your dog that gets me - a big strapping dog like that is scared of cats, bless him!
