AT HOME:
Cats:
Inigo, male, black
Mija (pronounced “me-ha”), female, black with white feet
Upstairs 10gal Tank:
Garfield, plecostamus (suction cup reasoning behind name)
Tank was set up specifically for him as Fezzik regularly beat the shit out of him in the 30gal
Kirby, corycat (because he’s constantly vacuuming the gravel)
Bilbo Betta, Betta/Siamese fighter (he seems as self-important, but ultimately harmless, as his namesake)
Glass cats…there are 5, but only one is named: Ethan, because he was the Ultimate Survivor of the first 5 I had. Whoops.
Downstairs 30gal Tank:
Draco, African Butterfly fish
Fezzik, featherfin synodonis catfish
Frick and Frack, kuhli loaches
Urchin, electic yellow/lemon labidochromis
Gloria (daughter of Edith and Archie, you see), electric yellow
Frodo, electric blue
Sticky and Velcro, butterfly loaches (their whole body is one big suction cup)
AT SCHOOL:
Corn Snake: Henry, albino male
Parakeets (both male and blue–and both adopted strays caught in the wild that were named by the class):
Pegasus, blue with white wings
Lucky, blue with black wings
I’m giving Lucky and Pegasus away this year. I didn’t want them–they just found me!
alice, years ago I bred Jack Dempseys. They can be nasty mofos when they’re guarding their young! The little 3 1/2 inch female and her 7" male nearly killed both of my 7" Oscars. But watching mom swim around, this swarm of microscopic babies following slowly behind her, is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen in my own fish tanks. I bred the electric yellows I have, too, until some bizarre hemorragic bacterial infection wiped out all my adult cichlids about a year ago.
All that to say I like your choice in fish!
