Bicolour Blenny

This is a Bicolour Blenny. Originially from the Indo-Pascific, they're now a fish tank favourite.

They're easily stressed out and will attack when threatened. For this reason, Bicolour Blennys are jerks.

These little demons just cant wait to take a nice fat chunk outta one of your digits. They also like meaty foods such as shrimp and dried bloodworms.


They're known to omnom on algae as well. When they clean the glass of the tank they leave behind little kiss marks.

Sphynx Cat

It's the time of year when first year students are searching out housing for next year and one of the drawbacks we come across is the NO PETS notice on all the adds.
Obviously for me this is a big issue; I need my critters.
Loop Hole!
SPHYNX CAT! Can't be allergic to these babies.




That's not actually true, if you're allergic to the Fel d1 protien in cat saliva, you'll still be allergic to hairless cats.

And you have to bathe them weekly to ensure the oils which are usually absorbed by the fur doesnt build up on the skin.

They're pretty high maintenance actually

They make up for it in awesome.
