My house is a animal house

2 dogs
-Both are sisters and are mixed. Their names are Izzy and Pukka. They are Pitbull/ lab mixes with a bit of Dingo thrown in. I got them from a litter my grandfather's dog had
1 Moniter
- 5 foot Water Moniter, he's name is Gomek
1 egret
- full grown white egret, it lives in my family's boat house and I feed it any fish I catch in the canal. Doesn't really have a name but we know its a girl because she had chicks once
3 turtles
- 2 river turtles (Slip and Slide) and 1 African Spur Tortoise (Shelly)
1 freshwater croc
- not really a pet, but he comes to my dock and I give him one or two fish, doesn't have a name
1 scorpion
- a 10 centimeter long Emporer Scorpion, named Tank
2 finches
- they live in a bird house outside my window, no names
13 or so fish
- 3 rainbow fish, 2 clown fish, 4 or so mini catfish, 1 porcupine fish (pin-cusion) , and 3 sucker (tank cleaner) fish
-More water snails then any mortal person could count

I am incredibly jealous of your Crocodile proximity. ;_; I love those animals so much! Where do you live?

I'd love to see pictures of your water monitor! (Well, of the others also, but I have a thing for monitors. Never had a water monitor, but I did have a 6-foot black throat.)

I live in Queensland, where exaclty I can't tell for privacy's sake.

Maybe I should name the freshie after my crocolisk in wow. I haven't seen him for about a month, hope he didn't eat a Cane Toad and get poisoned

You aussies and your crocs least its not a salty. What are your "sucker" fish? plecos? brisal nose catfish? (sorry i have a thing for those)

BTW im sure you can tell im a Kiwi

If it was a saltie I woudn't get anywhere near it...

I think Its pronouced Pacastomus. THey're a kind of blackish brown cat fish that feeds on alge.

Ah, Australia gets all the cool animals. ^^ Very nifty though, you should take photos of the croc some day if he shows up again. :3

oh i think you mean Plecostomus. Thats the gene of catfish people call "suckers". Some can get very big like i mean 40cm big. They good for alge cleaning but they do need like a bit of drift wood in there tank to chew on and im sure you do. Sounds like you Know what your doing so tahts good

Mm hmm, Plecostomus. We sell them at my work (I'm in a pet store).

Quite awesome looking fish.

Yes they are you can get some very cool looking ones. Have you seen the zebra striped ones?

I caught a plecostomus in a pond near my house when I was in high school.

We were out with a cast net; I was after food for the lizards, and my friends were after bait. We were all rather surprised when one cast dredged up a giant pleco. He was pushing 16 inches. Probably an abandoned aquarium fish. I'm in Florida, USA, so they aren't exactly native.

I took him home and popped him in a 55 gallon tank until I was able to trade him for rats at a local fish store that I trusted. (Yeah, a fish store. Oddly, they sold high-end aquarium fish and rats. *shrug*) Gabe always liked rats better than fish anyway.

I just hope he didn't eat a cane toad and get himself poisoned . Its been a problem recently, the freshies keep eating the cane toads (invasive species) and die from the poison. Oddly enough, the poison doesn't seem to bother the saltwater crocs, heh go figure..

Thats odd about the saltys. Proberly has something to do with there stomach acid i guess. Stupid cane toads
