Here's one of my Neon Tetras. It's hard to get a good close-up that's not blurry.

The top fish is a Neon Tetra, the other fish is a Blue Long-Fin Danio. Click on the picture if you want to see a larger view.

The yellow fish in the middle is my Albino Corydoras, the other two fish are my Neon Tetras.

Aquarium fish

I didn't have much luck with fish. Here's what happened.

I've had several kinds of fish. I've had Neon Tetras, Blue Long-Fin Danios, Bloodfin Tetras, Albino Corydoras Catfish, Spotted Cory Catfish, Otocinclus Catfish, and two little under water frogs. I first got neon tetras, danios and a frog. A few days later a tetra and the frog died. I got two bloodfin tetras, the cory catfish, and another frog. After a while, the albino catfish died. I was going to get another cory catfish but the spotted cory died too. The frog died too. So I got two otocinclus catfish instead. They died when I was quarantining them. The neon tetras died too, so then I just had two danios and two bloodfin tetras. One of the danios died. Right now I just have two bloodfin tetras and one danio. :(

I saw this raccoon on my birthday.

Here's the rock squirrel that came for my birthday.

Here's the fox squirrel that visited me on my birthday.

Squirrels!

Once I was looking outside and saw something black and gray moving around near a big rock. I thought it was a weasel or something. Then it started walking down the hill and it looked like a big squirrel. It was a rock squirrel! I've also seen fox and gray squirrels. They're always trying to get on the bird feeders, so I put up two squirrel feeders! One of the squirrel feeders is a bungie feeder! I see bungie-jumping squirrels alot. The other is a cobs-a-twirl. It has four spokes with things to put corn cobs on. The squirrels jump on to the cobs and it twirls around!

Here's Happy with his mother.

Oh, how cute!

On my birthday a lot of animals came. There were raccoons, fox squirrels, rock squirrels, opossums, birds, and deer. One deer even brought a cute little fawn! :) I called it Happy, because I was having a happy birthday. Later that day, Happy was curled up next to the house taking a nap. Happy's mother didn't let Happy nurse very much. When Happy tried to nurse, His mother walked away:(I saw him when he was a yearling too, and he had broken his antlers. He comes back once in a while to eat the food I put out.

Meow! 

Here's Muffin, eatting some nut butter. 

Meow!

Once my mom baked some really bad muffins. She put them outside for the birds to eat. A cat came and ate them! He came back every day and ate them all! I was putting out nut butter for the birds and squirrels to eat. The cat ate it too! I named the cat Muffin becuase he liked muffins.
I started putting out almond butter just for him! Once he was outside eatting some nut butter and he looked up a hill and the hair on his back raised up and he ran away fast! A coyote was coming.

Here's Hermina out for a walk.

This is Hermini having a little bath.

Hermit Crabs! hermit crabs!

Hi, my name is Luv. My first pet was a hermit crab. Her name was Hermina. I got her at Virginia Beach. I also got another crab in a pet shop in Stanton, Virginia. Her name was Hermini. The name of the pet store was Pets & Pals. I had gotten some extra shells in case Hermina wanted to change to a different shell. When I got Hermini, Hermina didn't want Hermini to have any "her" shells! Before I got Hermini, I took Hermina on a trip to Florida. She liked to climb the palm trees! She was afraid of the sea gulls though!! I've fed my crabs fresh fruit and vegetables (banana, strawberries, carrots, tomatoes, and cabbage) and cuttlefish bone and "hermit the crab" crab food. Hermini liked sweet potato alot. I take Hermini out in her run-about ball. I also put her in boxes with things for her to climb on. I don't have Hermina any more. She died shortly after I got Hermini. :( Hermina never molted well I had. Hermini molts 3 times or more every year!
