Question Animal lovers?

[Ricey]

Morning all,

Don't know if this has been covered before but just wondering what and how many pets the members of ShrimperZone have.

I have:
- 8 month old Labrador
- 2 cats
- 1 gerbil.

I also have my work dog which is a 6 year old German Shepard.

And for this week my wife has kindly offered to look after 2 other dogs:
Another Labrador and a Jug (jack Russell crossed with a pug, if you hadn't already worked it out)

 

[Holy Joe]

About 50 various tropical fish

Yes but that is what the owner refers to it as.

Kids have 2 guinea pigs. Was meant to be one hamster as my daughter pleaded for one for ages only to get to the pet store and realise she meant a different animal. Duh. We then bought two. Double Duh.

1 cat, about 10 tropical fish. But as soon as they go they won't be replaced.

I've always wanted tropical fish. Are they hard to keep? I hear they can be a lot of effort with getting the water right and the temperature?

No it's not difficult, but you have to be prepared for dead fish! It's also a pain in the @rse having to keep the filters clean.

Depends on what type of fish - some are more sensitive to water conditions than others - and some will only eat live food. The bigger the tank the easier, as the water conditions tend to be more stable. I spend a few mins a day feeding and 20 mins once a week (or sometimes every other week) on water change, filter maintenance etc.

We have a yellow lab/retriever who is a failed guide dog.

One three year old West Highland Terrier which was given to my son. Free to him but definitely not free to me.

One roughly twelve year old Lab/Corgi cross, which was left with us while a troubled family sorted their life out. They were coming back for him in October. October 2003, that is, so I suspect (especially as all the kids are now in care) that he is here to stay.

One Goldfish which my daughter bought in a pet shop when she was 9. She is twenty now and gone, but the bloody fish lives on, costing a fortune in fish food and ever-larger tanks and is eight and a half inches long. I showed it an article in the paper which said that Goldfish only live for 7 years. It seemed unmoved.
