What makes a good pet is an active, healthy fish who wriggles when you enter the room. A good pet is one who brightens your day and makes you smile when you look at them.

When you enter for the PET class, a picture of your fish looking healthy, happy and showing off their own personality is key. This is a contest to have fun displaying your babies to the forum.

Here is my recipe for a great photo:

-A scoop of lighting
-A sprinkle of patience
-And a whole heaping cup of love.

Mix together well and serve.

-Sincerely

I would love to see your avi entered, I'm not judging that paticular catagory, so I can be biased :p

Yes gandalf has a few floors (cough cough tailbiter :mad: grrrr) his anal is too long and his dorsal isn't amaaaaazing, but lily who is his girlfriend has much better fins than him! She will be breeding with pineapple first, while gandalf grows back his fins, which have now also gone down to fin rot __________ (pick any naughty word to fill in that gap) I just wish I could have him back the way he should be!I know he has stopped tailbiting since I got his 2upside down catfish buddies (the only two survivors from a spawn of the awesome guy at my lfs) so now I only have to eliminate the fin rot :)

Phew, last entry
This boy was, and still is my favorite <3
Name: Red White and Blue Sparking Fireworks (Sparky)
Age: ~2 1/2 at time of death
Breed/Color: Veiltail Male, Marble
Class: Pet
How I aquired him: Fish Store
Photos:




Just a side note:
As I was posting these pics, I was playing music and the song 'If I Die Young' came on and also Adele's 'Someone Like You'... I haven't cried so hard for years. Sparky has been gone for a few months now, and I do believe that the pain will never dull like it has done for my other fish. He was, and still is my soul mate. RIP Red White and Blue Sparking Fireworks. I will never forget you.

Only yesterday was the time of our lives."
