[Something] Walrus needs a Friend [Fishy]

You need a ten gallon tank for a hermit crab? :eek: Guess that explains why mine died. :icon_redf

Hmmm... I'm think it's probably a beta or a goldfish. I've never seen any other kind of fish in a bowl. It might be nice to have two though, and obviously you can't have two betafishes because they'll eat each other. And you know, you can get goldfish that are different colours- we had an orange one named Andre and a white one named Tony (like from that movie about the seal!).

OH! What about sea monkeys? (Sorry. That's kind of lame, just a thought.) Or a water frog? We had them in fourth grade and they live for a long time. Actually, we had three of them... but wait. Dammit. They lived in tanks.

Sorry! This isn't much help. I'll keep thinking about it though. ~megan~

 

How about a worm farm?? You can see all the little tunnels from the side and if you want to go fishing.......

 

I keep scorpions...but i don't think you'll find those interesting.

 

i have three beta (all in separeate containers) and they are very pretty. you can deccorate their tank with shells or colored glass stones to make it pretty. you can get creative with their tanks too. like one of mine is in a vase with a candle holder on top. the others are in a 5 gallon fish tank with a separator in the middle so they don't get to each other. i've seen martini shaped fish tanks at the pet store though. their good because they don't need much room and i found that they can go unfed for a short while, so if you forget about them they don't die very easy. :icon_wink

 

Get a Terrapin (turtle)! Low maintenance except when they grow all big like 4 years later. And they are so cute and so fun top play with!

 

Well, you could hide the fishy whenever your mates decide to get drunk, maybe?

It might not take to being shoved into a cupboard very well, but just remind it gently that it's for it's own good

Just get what you want, and hopefully your roommates will be lovely people who'll respect the fishy's privacy? *hopeful face*

 

I don't know if it is proper care or even if you can buy them, but when i was younger we had two tiny turtles in a fish bowl. no filter or anything, they lived for like a year, well really, we kept them for like a year and then let them go.

 

I like angel fish. However, I don't know if they need a filter. I guess you would have to ask that at the pet store.

I would be afraid a frog would hop right out of the bowl. You don't want anything that jumps. I had an aquarium for my kids when they were little. We got these fish that we didn't know were jumpers and there was no top on the back of the tank. Well they were all dead on the floor the next morning. Yuck. Stupid fish...don't they know they need to stay in water???

Another time, we caught tadpoles at the lake because I wanted my kids to see them turn into frogs. Not a bright idea Becky. We got up the next morning. The water was spilled on the floor and the tadpoles were gone. The cat had a tasty dinner. :eek:

 

And now for something completely different...

How about a nice python? (OK, yes, I do realise it isn't a fish. Much more of a talking point tho'.).

 

Is it just me or is there a subtle reference to Monty Python in there?

 

^ Well - not so subtle - and it did seem appropriate in the circumstances...

 

You could always get snails... They're not the most entertaining of creatures, but .. they get the job done, i suppose

 

Ahh get a cray fish!! i had one there entertainin to watch, dotn need much water for them just simple stuff.. the only thing about them is that they attack you, i took mine out for a walk ~_~ and it used it pincers on me , it was the best pet ever.. but it died when it escaped, -.- , plus thery're cheap to buy

 

Hmm, have you considered either a turtle or a seahorse?
Either one would be awesome. Something to remember is
that most Goldfish bowls are actually too small for the needs
of a goldfish (aka you will have to clean it more often and the
goldfish might feel a little crammed), so you should go for
a tank with a filter. Betas however, are usually fine in small
bowls.

 

I like mollies and angelfish, but I'm not sure if they'd be able to live in a fishbowl

 

Mr. Walrus, I had wrong when I said worm farm. I actually meant ant farm. Think of all the hours of entertainment that you could have watching the little guys tunneling, bringing food back to Ant Central,fighting, mating.You could have favourites.
And then if you're bored there's always the old "Magnifying Glass Game"
Think about it. You'd be unique.All the guys would be saying, " Hey!!! Let's go over the the Walrus's to see the ants.>>>>>>>>:icon_bigg

 

=0 I'm not allowed any pets where ill be staying =[

but u shud definitely get a turtle and then teach it to break dance!!!!!!
