I posted earlier and have many types of pets. I’ll be straight here. If I had as many dogs or cats die as I have fish I wouldn’t be able to have dogs n cats anymore. Not legally mind you. I’ve not lost THAT many fish. But emotionally. I wouldn’t be able to take it. So for me, there is a difference. Although. If my Valentini puffer dies I may take bereavement leave from my job.

I miss my spotted puffer. He didn't die, I rehomed him to someone with a much larger tank. So much character.

Always wanted chicken
Very easy pets although they dig and make a mess. Bonus is getting 3-5 eggs a day. One day was 8.

I have a dog and a tortoise.

Kane is my second Malamute. He's a rescue that I adopted 2 years ago after my first Malamute passed. The biggest mush of a dog you'll ever see. Loves belly rubs and will instantly roll over when meeting new people.

Sheldon my Russian Tortoise. He's another rescue that I took from my teenage niece that was more interested in boys instead of taking care of her tortoise. Now he spends his time in the Spring and Summer months roaming my backyard and during the Fall and Winter mostly hibernating in the house. Notorious slipper biter when I watch TV, he's like a ninja.

Well I got my 2 French bulldogs dumdum and wiggles. And the I have my two cats they are Scottish straights snowy and marshmellow we call him marshie.
Brown and white Frenchie is rubble aka dumdum
Black and white Frenchie is sparky aka wiggles
White cat snowy
Brown cat Marshmellow.

Iwould like to say I live them all equally but let’s get real the dogs are to loud and to needy the cats they’re indoor cats so they just stink up the place lol and then there my fish which yes a lot of work but they’re quiet cool to watch and don’t chew my crap up. Lol

1. Do you have other pets besides your aquarium pets and if so what are they?
Dog : Emmitt
Cat : Bailey
2. In terms of "affection" how do other pets differ from your aquarium pets?
. Aquarium pets don't hog the bed.
