Past pets:

Various fish listed below, everything was going fine, we only had 2 deaths in 3 years untill we introduced a bastard of a fish called a reticulated loach.

Silver Shark (2)
Sailfin Molly (1)
Eastern Rainbowfish (1)
Reticulated Loach (ate all the fish listed) (1)
Black Ghost Knifefish (1)
Juvenile kribensis (1)
Electric yellow (1)
bolivian butterfly (1)
german ram (1)
guppys (4)
angelfish (2)
black widow tetra (2)
cherry barb (3)
various corydoras (4)
brown hopolo catfish (1)
leopard danio (4)
zebra danio (3)
pearl danio (1)
lemon tetra (around 6)
silver tip tetra (about 8)
bristlenose catfish (1)
dwarf gouramis (2)

In total only 4 deaths were not attributed to the reticulated loach, a sailfin molly stuck in the filter, two danios dying of unknown causes and a Clown loch from white spot and we got scammed 40 AUD for medicine.

 

How did a reticulated loach eat a black ghost knifefish?

 

Those are some huge stocking issues....

 

A: the fish weren't in there all at once though
B: we had a largeish tank

 

I never actually saw the attack in person (I didn't know the loach was eating other fish till it ate Bala shark and rainbow fish and then we removed it from the tank).

 

Even so, the social structure defintiely was not that good at all...

 

.......

I don't plan to keep fish anytime soon though, its been almost 4 years since i last kept them.

 

It's all about learning from mistakes . I've had my fair share.

 

Ever thought about putting him on a diet and give him more exercise? Obesity kills slowly, but surely ...

 

He was actually born much bigger than the rest of is litter. It’s not so much that he’s fat, but more than he was just born large. He also was born with a crooked rib cage.

 

That's twice the max weight for an adult, though.

 

Given that the FCI sees the standard sized Dachshund at 9 kg (=19,84 pound) weight, he apparently continued with the exaggerated growth. I've seen my fair share of dachshunds in all three size categories, but never a healthy purebred specimen at not just twice, but three times the average weight.

 

None currently as pets are not allowed in my apartment building.

As a kid/teenager I've had rabbits, chickens, fish (various small freshwater species), cockatiels, a Schneider's skink, and a dog.
