Gutz is a girl
If I had my way (and the time and space), I would have a black standard poodle as a pet. Sadly, living in a flat and full time work mean we have to make do with a tank of tropical fish. I should add that I love our fish, and I would have them even if we lived in some marvellous alternate universe where somebody was always at home, we had a lovely large yard and owned a dog and a cat.
But I must admit that I have a favourite in the tank - a large blue gourami which we’ve nicknamed Gutz.
The name is self-explanatory: the fish loves to eat! For, well, years now, we’ve thought Gutz was a boy because of its beautiful colour. But it turns out that Gutz is a girl (apparently, you can tell from the dorsal fin, which is shorter and rounder in girls and longer and more pointed in boys). So we’re going to try to get her a boyfriend blue gourami, because she’s currently suffering from ‘biggest fish in the tank’ syndrome and thinks she’s pretty tops.

Maybe you can get her pregnant? Baby fishies!!!
Yeah! mind you, they may not won’t last long as she’ll probably eat them!
You can’t see it in this photo, but when she gets pissed off or stressed she gets these spots on her side. You wouldn’t think fish would have personalities, but they do!
we have a cav king charles x poodle and he satisfies every ‘requirement’ we had for a dog. he lives in our apartment & he doesn’t shed and despite looking like a lap dog, he’s quite happy to chase balls and rumble from everything to rspca terriers to american pit bulls (i kid you not). He is an attention absorber - suffers from Hyperactive Attention Deficiency Syndrome, but as long as he has that when you’re home, he’s happy.
