Uhhhh so my sister just called me a minute ago....turns out her kitty Patch (grey/white dsh- cute as a button!) ate one of Isaac's Triops today
For Christmas I got my nephew a Triop kit- it's these little crustations that you put their eggs in water and they hatch within 24 hours. they live about a month (longer if you take care of them) and are kinda cute
My nephew had been taking such good care of them- they had 5 (my sister supervised
) and well...Kimmy came home today to find one of the triops bodise scattered all over the kitchen counter
Poor thing! They had them in a covered tank- so i'm not sure how Patch got to him , but he did...(thankfully it was before the kids got home from school
) The triops have been moved away to a different location now and Patch is now considering himself to be a ferocious beast
Poor little shrimpy/fishy thing!!!!

He's sooo rotten, but he is a cutie though

Poor little triops.

I haven't kept them but they seem to be pretty neat crustaceans. They are also one of the oldest living animal species on earth. They also have very short lifespans.

I've had a number of fish jump from my tanks over the years but Shadow and Midnight have never eaten a fish that jumped. The only interest they showed would be a causal sniff and then they would move on. I have no idea how Everest and Charlotte would behave if a fish jumped. They would probably pounce on it.

My Beatta did a Kamakazi onto the floor and the cats played with him to death. He was furry when I found him, I actually thought he was a turd.

The life of a fish is a short one.

They are definitely neat- it's soo much fun to see them in person- they're really cute
Those things are hyper though- they swim around non-stop and they're always hungry

My bettas (i am a HUGE betta fan- at one point i had 8) seem to live very long for a betta. I feed mine freeze dried blood worms and clean them out religiously. They are also on a shelf in my room (it's a little wooden one) so that cats can't get to them. My girls don't really mind the bettas though. Abilene likes to watch them swim when i clean them out though
/ IT's ISABELLA that worries me! We have a huge 80 gallon fresh water tank in our living room (i'm wanting to convert it to salt water) we also have a 10 gallon in the hallway. We have a massive pleco (algae eater) in the big tank named Scare....he's the only fishy in there at the moment. Well...Isabella will climb on the top of the tank and sit on the glass and look down in there and try to "fish" him out
She is constantly getting in trouble for her little fishing escapedes
/ I guess she gets it from her cousin Patch

mine is cute!
he's massive and his name is Scare! We put some little plasticy pink occtopus things in there ( they're sponge bob square pants one- hate the show, but the little pink octopus are cute
) and he will grab onto those and float around the tank cleaning them
It's funny to watch! He's old as dirt too! We've had him for years!
