    2 big fish tanks
    Ok today at school I noticed 2 75 gallons fish tanks at the biology section 1 holds 4 goldfish (1 comet, 1 Black moor, 1 Shubunkin and 1 Veil Tail)

    The other holds a school of tetras and guppys,, the guppy tank is planted and the goldfish tank so far holds one plat,, I asked who's going to maintain them (hopefully I'd get a change)

    Then my teacher told me the 4th/5th/6th classers that choose biology in the're profile will and if they give up (we also have other pets that can be chosen)

    Next year I'll be 4th classer and will have to choose my profile,, and guess what's going to be my extra subject and who's going to maintain the tanks,, yep me!!

    Sooner or later when I have biology again I'll try to snap some pictures with my mobile phone ^^

    I wish we had tanks in my high school. I don't think we ever had anything alive in there as a "pet". Only dead mice, and piglets that I can remember.

    Anyway, that sounds exciting. Hopefully you'll be able to help out with them.

    Haha we keep a specie thats a mix of a hamster and squirrels we call them degoes,, cant find a clue whats there english name,, we also keep big lobsters rabbits a bird and several other ''rodents''if that's the correct word ^^

    I love the fact that they dont put in alot of goldfish in the 75 gallon unaware of the're growing size luckily they all have abouy 20 gallons right now

    The English word is probably a cognant of the Dutch word:DEGU in english.
    Not my pic by the way.

    The English word is Degu. I have heard about them before. They are kind of like our Chipmunks but a bit different.

    And in Canada Anthony, the Squirrels are red and little! :)

    Squirrel - also know as, Tree Rats :)

    The crazier looking of the squirrels happen to be in the southern states, the fox squirrel amongst others is an amazing looking creature!
