We have a oscar.. unfortunately it likes me. Oscar the Oscar has a 2 yr olds personality. One of the ones where the 2yr old clings to the favorite parent if you know what I'm talking about. He doesn't like to be in the line of traffic, preferring to be in a quiet room til feeding time. Other wise he lays behind his driftwood (only thing he will allow in the tank besides his marble) when anyone else comes in the room. Yes, I said marble. He has a candy stripe marble that he plays with. Why? I have no clue.
The biggest problem we're going to have is when she "loses the interest". I'm the primary feeder, player, and cleaner of all these pets. Probably I should just pick something I want instead of letting her decide!
Something that isn't so fussy about who plays with it. But, unfortunately the best two for that, the cat and dog are out of the question. Otherwise I'd get a small house dog for myself.
