Your fish are beautiful, Overit, and I'm sure very peaceful to watch.(because fish don't DO anything but swim)

They are very colourful, and if they are Chinese Fighting Fish, as suggested, perhaps that is why they are in different fishbowls (wouldn't Toby love to set his chops on them!!)

Really, I never though of owning fish, but they are pretty and obviously they are very happy and content (because they know if they aren't they get flushed in a heartbeat)

And...I'll bet your vet bills are minimal (how much does it cost to flush anyway?)

Don't mind me, I just paid $120 for Toby's rabies shot and checkup today and have one miffed cat on my hands right now. He seems to be typing something here while I am thinking of my next sentence, but I don't see anything...hmmm...sneaky beast.

Hugs,

Awww, I love your pet fish! They're really pretty! And I like their colorful homes. Thanks for sharing those photos.

We have four big, fat (uggglyyyy) goldfish and two placostamus (verrrry ugggllly). But we've had them for so many years, I find myself talking to them. They even eat right outta my hand. I hate it when they splash me in the mornings, though. Little buggars!

Well, make fun all you want! That's the only pets that I have ~ fish ~ and they are not even mine. They belong to my kiddos! Kiddos named them! I can't even take credit for that. But IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII take care of them!

And until about a month ago, we had a hermit crab. We had him for 2+ years. His name was Herman (may he RIP). Here is a pic with him on the skateboard, well, next to his skateboard:

Ahhhm just funnin' with ya, Overit. The fish are very nice, my friend has an aquarium and I confess, yes it's true, I actually like watching fish.

And Hermit, well, a crab that skateboards can't be all bad.

Hugs (minus Toby)

love your fish DWI! I would like to get some myself. Kind of soothing watching them just float around!

Yeah, at $2.99 a piece, you can't go terribly wrong. Just flush 'em when their "time" comes.

Okay, okay, everyone make fun. But, they are the only pets I have. No fluffy, soft loving four legged creatures in my house.

But, go ahead, have your little jokes at my expense...............

(((Ann))) Oh...but they do. They poop. My son got a couple fish for his birthday one year. Jack and Jill. I had to clean the bowl. Pee-eew! That was nasty. First Jack went, followed by Jill. Yes, the funeral procession was quick and easy.

(((Ang))) I'm pet free also. Unless the spider in the corner counts. I'm not sure? Maybe I should name it just in case? How do you tell what sex a spider is? Hmmm...just wondering.
