Posted: 14:39 - 26 Sep 2017 Post subject: Please try the fish... |
|
|
Hey all,
My 4 year old has it in her head she wants a pet from Santa clause. I told her Santa does not deliver pets but it seems the wife has indicated he might be able to stretch to fish
I don't mind too much as a one point I actually wanted to get some fish but I also understand the attention span of a 4 year old means that by Jan the 14th they will be looking to me to keep them alive...
I need some tips on where to start, obviously I am not looking at a big tropical aquarium but I would like something a bit more than a gold fish. Am I best just going to petsathome or should I go to one of the places that seem to be attached to garden centres.
Any advice gratefully accepted ____________________ "no I didn't steal it that's just the way I ride" |

Children want something to pet and play with. Fish will get boring in 3, 2, 1... Fish in a tank is an old man's hobby.
Get a small tank and cheap fish. If your child gets interested go bigger, if not, you won't be wasting too much money. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

I think you are right, I just had a look at how the cost of it can add up....

Maybe some BCF fish people have some old tanks, pumps and other stuff, that you could buy from them.
I have nothing better to do, so I checked the pricing of different fish and there are quite a lot of colourful fish that are even cheaper than a ''standard'' Goldfish. So the most expensive part here is the tank and filtration, I suppose.
*Side note: A goldfish would be very easy to replace if something happens to it. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

They are in our canals as well and thrive. They are basically Carp and can interbreed with the native fish. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

Get a goldfish because bomb-proof.
If you're onto small furries, I can highly recommend hooded rats as pets for kiddies. They like human company, are highly interactive, don't live a very long time (say 2.5 to 3 years on average) and are almost impossible to drop. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink.

I put it on a separate post in case you were not interested.
Based in SW16 (streatham) and have 3 fish needing a new home.
they are very attractive goldfish and of a decent size.
got a spare tank which you can also have but it has no lid or filter.
come and collect when ever you like. ____________________ PCX125 (stolen) - CBF600 (current)
Ride it like you stole it.
ride sensible and not like an idiot and you wont get 6 points in one week. |
