The fish in my coldwater aquarium have given birth to a bunch of tiny, but healty looking babies.

hmm, i feel a babyfish massacre coming by other fishies.

The other fish in that aquarium are herbivores They have no reason to kill their own children.

Yeah but who knows...
there is something fishy going on here...
xD

I have no pets now, but a dog is all I will ever have....I dont like any other option on pets!!

Dogs are great pets. But I feel I really get to know a species if I keep them as a pet, so I enjoy have many different animals.

For example, my snails, I never found snails to be very interesting, but now that I have kept my apple snails for several months, I suddenly realise how amazing they are.

I still would like a dog though!

OMG LOL YOU CAN MAKE STICKS OF DEAD FISH!

I love to have a Gorilla or a Bear as a pet if I could...I dont like small animals like fish, birds or that kind!! sorry Zarra!!

That's okay, to each his own.

I like big pets as well, but most large animals are outlawed here. You can keep horses, pigs, donkeys and cows, or a big dog, some large birds of prey are also legal. But other then that, it's considered to be too dangerous for humans.

And all primates are illegal to keep as pets in the Netherlands. So bears and gorillas are definitely out of the question. Boars on the other hand, are legal to keep, and they make great pets.

Here the same, and it is almost imposible to have a Gorilla or a Bear as pet but is something I wil love...

yeah, people that keep lions, tigers, bears, large primates etc, almost always end up as pet-food.

troof...

I bought 4 guppies, but one of them went blind x_x it was freaky.

He went blind? What he do?

I have no idea, I looked at the aquarium 2 days ago, and her eyes were black with white pupils, she was gasping and trying to swim, but obviously didn't know where she was going.

Yesterday I didn't see her anymore, so I assumed my other, predatory fishes killed her. But when I lifted the lid to feed them, I saw that she was hiding amongst the plants. Her eyes had turned white completely.

I have had hundreds of guppies in the past, and I have never seen this before…

I brought her back to the store. They think it's my water. It's toxic or something. They will give me a new guppy when I fix that. Apparently guppies have became a lot weaker since the time that I kept them, because they select the animals on their colours, not their health.

Toxic aquarium? xD Does it look like this?

Not yet. Maybe in a year or so.

That'd be swell

But could you maybe post a picture of your blind fishy? That'd be super swell!

I told you, I brought her back to the store. I have no use for a blind guppy.

One of my sailfins has a really weird bloated eye.... O_o I think she was attacked by one of the other animals in the tank.

Pic's?

I'll make a picture when I get back to that house.

It's like fish mortal combat. Survival of the fittest i guess?

She'll be fine, the swelling got a lot less. And she doesn't seem to be in any pain.

Picture:

As you can see, her right eye is slightly bigger, and white at the edges. A couple of days ago it was about two times the size it is now.

I got 3 new platy fish for breeding. My old ones are getting old. (duh) And their 4 young that survived are not able to breed yet.

I got a new breed, called victory:


I use to have only this breed, the mickey mouse platy (named after the markings on their tail):



Platies are the best fish ever. Easy to breed, survive in all sorts of water, survive on any kind of food, they don't attack my other animals, and they are always active and playful.
