Rearing pets

I am  insect and animal lover especially water living animals. I had caught hundreds of grasshoppers, beetles, spiders and  lizards during my childhood. Actually, there are plenty species of grasshopper. Some of them are tame, while some of them are "dreadful" (with powerful thorny hind legs that can pierce into your skin when you are holding its legs and there is a species of grasshopper which has big, reddish mouth that can bite anything).

Besides that, I also start rearing fishes since I was a kid. I rear Ikan Puyu (a type of fish that can be caught from small drain in Malaysia). Ikan Puyu is a fish that has strong survivability but it does not have attracting colour and it is quite fierce.
Advantages of rearing Ikan Puyu: Does not require frequent feeding and changing dirty water
Disadvantages of rearing Ikan Puyu: Boring, not attractive and fierce.




Peacock fish is another type of fish that i rear the most. This small fish can be caught from small drain in Malaysia.
Advantages of rearing Peacock fish: Attractive, does not require frequent changing of dirty water. Disadvantages of rearing peacock fish: Weak survivability, only can feed on small fish pellets due to small mouth.


Koi fish is the fish that I have the most in my aquarium. This species of fish has plenty of colour, ranging from white, yellow, orange, red to black. This type of fish is widely available in pet shop and some of them are being sold as a food for larger fishes.
Advantages of rearing Koi fish: Attractive, strong survivability.
Disadvantages of rearing Koi fish: Require frequent feeding and aquarium pump




Recently, I started rearing brazil tortoise (turtle red-ear slider). This little creature is quite cute and brings you a lot of fun.
Advantages of rearing turtle red-ear slider: Entertaining, active
Disadvantages of rearing turtle red-ear slider: Require good quality water and of course care
