lol
my daughter had over 150 guinea pigs once,, all with names!!

muffin it is "said" you MUST name a new animal on your property or its bad
luck... think it was an old Indian 'thing' & can't remember what the time
frame is ( I also am NOT naming all my fish, thank you..)


I named the first 4 I got I refused to name the 150 that were given to
me ( never ofer to adopt a closing ponds fish sight unseen )
sides Im too old to remember that many names ;-)

Have you named your fish? Anyone here name their fish?

In addition to naming fish, we named the stream & pond: Perspiration Stream and
Achenbach (as in aching back) Lake.

Never in a million years did i think i would be petting my fish with
my finger. It was cool and definately a first! Guess he missed me.

In a country where you can stick the word "anti-bacterial" on
anything, and
thousands of germphobic morons will fork over billions of dollars
annually
so they can constantly bath the good and bad bacterial in low doses of
antibiotics and help raise the resistance level.

And yet in the same country we've got porgers who willingly stick
their
hands into stagnant water filled with fish poop, rotting algae and
barley
straw, and then tell all their online friends that they touched a fish
covered in mucus-like-slime.

To quote Russian comic, Yakov Smirnoff, "What a country!"

OK ........ The anti-bacterial soap is to wash your hands BEFORE you
pet the fish. Don't want them getting sick, do we? Rinse well.

attached to a fish!! (Ok, i hear this faint roaring laughter and head
shaking going on) Lord help me if something gets him...

That's the problem of habituating an outdoor fish to eating from your hand.
They may think the splashing from the neighborhood raccoon is just you, and
find our differently too late. If they remain shy they are less likely to be
inappropriately trusting.

Absolutely. LOL We have Miss Piggy,Lemon Drop, and Goldie.

I used to have a catfish that would swim into my hands and allow it's self to
be lifted out of the water. It would swim up to be petted and rubbed. It was a
black bullhead.

remove nospam from e-mail to send to me, I grow trees in aquariums like bonsai.
I breed dwarf crayfish, great for planted community tanks. If you can get me a
shovelnose sturgeon fingerling (Scaphirhynchus platorynchus) no wild caught
please, contact me

I need to name one of mine, Rover. He roves around constantly munching
on roots and bugs and basically anything in it's path.

I gave them an orange section today. They took a few stabs at it, but
it is still there.

I guess you'd have to have been there...

I've touched the fish in our pond, it's fun. I was just comparing the two
different ways this nutty land works.

I often wonder for example how did the Indians or Cowboys living in Texas,
Arizona or New Mexico survive out there with out air conditioning, compared
to people in offices today who complain when the a/c or heater is a few
degrees off from the ideal temp...Hey buddy go stand outside for 10 minutes,
it's 100F with 85% humidity, then come back inside and tell me it's too hot
inside.

How did people do their daily routine every day with out the various
anti-allergy medications available today. Somehow I don't think that anyone
living out in the Midwest or the plains of Africa complained much about the
grass pollen levels just 200 years back.

There is something more then "you just get used to it"
