I can't tell Igor and Beegor apart.

BigV · 06-21-2005, 04:54 PM

Igor and Beegor again. Raaaar! Skeeredya, din't he. hehehehe. What a ham!

mrnoodle · 06-21-2005, 04:59 PM

Dang. I had finally gotten the idea out of my head to get a fish tank. Now I want one again. Fish = l33t

I heard a rumor that Steve was busted for pot and that's why he's no longer on "that show". You know how rumors are.

BigV · 06-21-2005, 05:08 PM

Igor, cruising...

Elspode · 06-22-2005, 10:51 PM

These are some 'tres cool fishes, BV. Salt water, I assume? They look rather eelish, or perhaps like a freshwater snakehead gone very large.

BigV · 06-22-2005, 11:00 PM

hahaha... No, freshwater only. I don't have nearly the chops for marine setup. These guys are not that big, about as big around as my thumb, and maybe a foot long. And escape artists. They like the corners and they like to be vertical. Better have the lid on tight. Dumb too cause the cats are just *wettin* themselves in anticipation of a successful jailbreak.

My cats thought they wanted a piece of the Oscars, too...until the orange one came out of the tank and gave 'em a shot. I had to pick him up and put him back in the tank while the cats sat at a safe distance going, "Um...not today...ees too dangerous...maybe next week..."

I don't mean to bag on BigV's fish but...they look like monsters. I don't go in the water. Monster's live in the water. They might eat you.

BigV · 06-23-2005, 03:15 PM

For me that was the appeal. They look positively monstrous. Hehe, but they're sweet and shy, practically blind, did you see those tiny eyes?

Trilby · 06-23-2005, 03:48 PM

Riiiiiight. Sweet and shy. I wasn't born yesterday, BigV. I know flesh-eating monsters when I see them--"tiny eyes" or not!

So it's a common behavioral trait for these gobi things to not realize they haven't evolved sufficiently to breath air, but they keep trying to escape.

I see.

Maybe your problem is really that they need their own remote for the TV, that way the won't be trying to get out of the tank.
