So, are there any other fishkeepers on here besides me? I love keeping fish myself for a lot of the same reasons as I love keeping virtual pets. I think it’s the responsibility associated with keeping something healthy and happy.

Anyhow, I have two betta fish, one in a ten gallon tank and one in a five gallon tank. I also have a twenty gallon community tank with rummy nose tetras, zebra danios, endlers, and peacock gudgeons!

Do you have any fish? If so, what kinds?

I used to have betas they all died horrible deaths. And a paradise gourami

Omg, you bet we have some excellent cute and/or silly names for our fish! Most of them Begin with "P" because that was the naming convention of our first 3 fish we kept together:

An example would be our oldest (and very first!) fish, a one eyed goldfish named poker! We got them on discount bc the pet store didn't think they were going to be able to sell them otherwise. Poker has grown up to be an absolutely ridiculous fancy-mutt of a goldfish. Google 'telescope oranda' and then envision the most awkwardly proportioned one eyed fish you can, and that's them. XD

Other notable ones include Pumpkin and Pomelo, both named after being fully orange and round with small back fins, and Pugwash my gold-koi hybrid who is named after a cartoon pirate with a thin black moustache because of their tiny tiny inherited barbels~.

Honestly I have a soft spot for the 'cheap' fancy goldfish bc they seem to always be either bred totally randomly, or be runoff from someones' fancy breeding projects... Because of that it's always a complete lottery what weird things they're gonna grow up with- will it be huge eyes? a forehead ornament? both? a massive tail or a tiny one, or TWO tails completely?

I've heard that goldfish can get to almost 30 years old. I hope ours are still around when I'm old hehe.

So many fishkeepers here, it’s so cool and amazing to see! I’ve always had a fondness for fish, or just aquatic life in general. And I don’t exactly have the ability to keep too many fish right now, but I have a wonderful dwarf puffer <3 he always tries to fight me through the glass whenever I visit him but that’s okay I love him anyways. Currently planning on getting a brine shrimp hatchery so I can give him some more live food :’)

Yeah! Pea puffers, they’re adorable ^^ and thank u! I keep forgetting that they get marketed as “sea monkeys” haha, I remember when those were popular

His name is Jeff :p I thought it was funny. And I can never get a good photo of him it’s so sad!!! On a good day I might be lucky but most times he’s just a tiny blur :( he’s too small for the camera to focus and he zoOMS, so

AHHH Toaster is also such a cute name! Zoom on, friend
