Just wondering how everyone elses other pets interact with your fishes? I have 2 cats, one loves to drink the tank water but seems oblivious that there are fish in there. The other sits and watches the fish for hours. She's never stuck a paw in the water but she has put her paws on the glass trying to chase them. hehe


(P.S. Sorry if this is too fishy for chit chat but I didn't know where else to put it. :) )
 
I have 2 Black labs. The female is fascinated by the fish, always nose prints on the glass. Everything that moves amuses her. The male doesn't pay a bit of attention to the fish, he justs likes to get involved during water changes. He would drink out of the bucket if I wasn't watching.
 
I have 2 boxers. The male, Duke is a sr citizen at 10. Chloe is 2 and is just about the cutest thing we've ever seen. She is a spirited girl, and can talk like a wookie. Duke rules the roost with an iron fist, but if she can entice him off the deck into the yard she runs around him like a rabbit. She plays games with us, prefers to sit in chairs, can open the door to the deck and let herself out, and knows when we are going to leave the house. The both know when I am coming home from work, they wait at the window for me and are a wonderful welcoming committee.
My kids accuse me of neglecting my dogs and doing things with those fish. Well, the fish don't sleep in my room..or on our bed if they can sneak up there. They have stolen and eaten a couple packs of algae wafers, and I caught Chloe swiping the flake fish food.
For some reason they don't pay attention to the fish much. I guess they are much too occupied in keeping the killer bunnies out of the back yard. I know killer bunnies exist...OrionGirl has one...and my dogs believe.
 
I can always talk about my dogs :Angel:
I'm sure Stacie wasn't a member when we had the discussion last time.

How many what's your favorite music threads do we have and no one seems to mind. :sim:

Yes, but was it in relation to the fish tanks?!?! I have to admit, I thought my cats (3) would love the big tank I got to replace my other ones because the stand is bigger than the tank and they can walk around it. BUT, of course they ignore the fish and just freak the poor fish out by pacing the front of the tank on occasion :cool: They haven't gotten the idea to jump on top yet, which I hope they don't it is only glass lids :rolleyes:
