The first time we got some fish it's because I wanted a Lionhead Goldfish. Still have a picture of him (http://i.imgur.com/rvRwNya.jpg)[here], look at that damn adorable face! I named him Ferdinand. I only wanted him, but my mom just kept bringing home more and more fish and he quickly got ammonia and died. :(

How does one get a pet fox? I want a pygmy marmoset. :3 but I can't even take care of some freshwater fish, so...

Look at this fennec fox. So cute. If we had raccoons in Hawaii I'd probably try to tame one...

You DON'T WANT a raccoon. They are cute only in movies and cartoons. Here in CA they are practically pests in cities, almost on par with rats. One late evening I was taking out trash and this creature was sitting on top of a trash container. It didn't even try to run away or move at all, no - it HISSED at me! I'm not a scaredy cat, but picking up a fight with that...

I was in Torrance last year and saw raccoons for the first time. My friend pointed and told me to look, and I asked "what the hell is that?" it was dark so I couldn't tell...plus I'd never seen one before, didn't know they could get so big. They were eating cat food put out for stray cats hehe.
I dunno, this chubby guy looks pretty harmless to me. :)

lol... XD
That's probably same as with cats - you can snuggle with a Fluffy all you want, but you wouldn't try to pet an old stray one on the street.

He's my older brother and he bothers me for the littlest things all the time, so I rarely answer right away when he knocks. And he mumbles so I couldn't hear him. I'd die in a housefire someday if we were home alone together and we didn't have Steam.
Living with him reminds me of a scene from King of Queens.
Doug: Hey, do you know where the scissors are?
Carrie: Doug, we have lived in this house for 9 years, ok? The scissors have always been in the same place, and yet you continue to ask me where they are. Not to mention the spatula, the pot holders, the pens. Well I'll tell you something, honey. I have been a tour guide in my own kitchen long enough.
Too many precious moments have been wasted showing you where things are. Just learn. LEARN! I mean, what if I died? How would you flip a pancake? How would you - how would you ever cut anything ever again? Would you just sit here weeping and soiling yourself until somebody came in to help you? No, you wouldn't. You would remember where something is.

Lol fish always die I gave up on getting some already. I stole my buddy's turtle a while back tho, since he never really took care of her. I've had her a year or so. The only annoying thing is sometimes my cat wanna play with her sometimes, and take her out of the aquarium to follow her around when she's walking.

Well if i didn't stole her, she would've probably died, he never changed her water. Also that kind of turtle needs to have an aquarium where she can be under water but need some spot outside of water to rest, so I think i helped her more than anything else by stealing her. Also she's not scared of my cat anymore so they can play together :)
Stealing a kitten for helping him or if he doesn't belong to someone nice it's a good thing :)

Sometimes, son, when a man and a woman fall in love... they get married and divorced and start seeing other people.

Fishes die all the time, it's really hard to take care :( Hope that one fish that is swimming sideways get well soon. :/

Update:
Sideways-swimming-fish was found upside-down still breathing but immobile while tiger barbs pecked at him. I put him in his own container to die peacefully without being nibbled on. Poor bastard.

That was good of you. The only way you could have done better was to kill him or her quickly so as not to prolong the suffering.

FYI: in reply to your P.S., "fish" is the plural form of "fish", while "fishes" if the plural form of "fish". Learn the difference!
Just kidding. "Fish", if mentioned as one type or one species, or in general, has the plural form of "fish" (unchanged). While "fishes", on the other hand, means "more than 1 types/species of fish". E.g.: "I have fished a lot of fish today" means "I have fished a big number of fish individuals", while "I have fished a lot of fishes today" means "I have fished a big number of different types of fish".

That was just Faragona demonstrating how to speak proper English.

So my dad and his girlfriend Wendy came home with fish a couple weeks ago. They got a decorative skull for the tank that the fish can hide in... Foreshadowing I tell you! This is the third time my dad set up a home aquarium and we never had any survivors before, we just can't take care of fish... Wendy said it would be different this time since she knows how to take care of them. After 2 days our golden gourami killed 3 neon tetras so we isolated him. I told her all our fish die!
A week later and things aren't looking so bad. Now Wendad are on a camping trip for the week and I'm in charge of feeding their fish. It's been 2 days since they left and the fish already almost fucking died.
I woke up this morning and fed them, and hadn't looked at them since. That was like 14 hours ago, and while I'm in the middle of a game my brother starts spamming me on Steam that the fish are dead and there's NO WATER IN THE TANK WAT.
I run out to the dining area and the water is literally down to the rocks and there's water all over the table and underneath the surge protector. There was a stray tube smaller than the circumference of a pencil hanging out of the tank and it siphoned all the water out throughout the day. I couldn't believe it. That tube connects to a bubble wand at the bottom of the tank that isn't in use atm because the pump we have isn't strong enough to run the bubble wand and the under gravel filter, so we unhooked it but left it in there. I really don't know squat about home aquariums lol.
Somehow I feel like this is my fault but dad said the tube had been out for days before they left. Now that I'm the one looking after the fish something happens. :(
One fish is swimming sideways, he's definitely on his way to the aquarium upstate... :p the others seem ok.
TL;DR fish aren't that easy to take care of and die all the gatdam tam.
P.S. Fish or fishes?
