uh,well i read about koi fish breeding before,koi is a crap fish orginally came from japan,it has wonderful combinations of colors, they grew really huge,they reach 3 feets,so they can't be kept indoors in tanks,usually they raised in ponds outdoors,maybe backyards would be a suitable place for it.

Back in 1976 I went to Rhodesia in one of my adventures and was amazed to see some koi's at the bottom of this large cave.........because it is a turist area the koi's are protected so that they have multiply to a large number and looking down it looked like a moving river of colors.

About raising animals.........do something that you can use and also trade with or sell WTSHTF, why not chickens? or goats? or ducks?, in the times ahead something that you can eat will be more valuable that something that is there just to look at.........unless you like to eat koi fish :twisted: ..........veryyyyyyyyy expensive.

I think that before buying Koi, you must create a proper habitat for them. This is where information from your pond builder and supplier will come in handy. However, you should not rely on the opinions of just one person. It may be a good idea to do research on your own, before you go to purchase the materials needed for you pond.

i love a Guinea Pig. Clearly the staples that you need for a guinea pig are fresh water, and guinea pig food, which is dry, that you can buy at the pet store.

However, guinea pig love fresh food too, but they are quite fussy and not all guinea pigs like the same foods! Here are some things that you can try.

Dandelion leaves: these grow naturally in most gardens, and the majority of guinea pigs absolutely love them and will scoff them

Grass: if you have a run in the garden you will know that you guinea pig can act as a lawn mower and cut down the grass

Cucumber: try this with your guinea pig, many do like it or at least enjoy gnawing off the skin

Carrot is another favourite for many guinea pigs. Others enjoy little bits of apple.

I agree, dogs are the best pet for me and a lot of people. Would be cool to have something unique though.

I have a friend who breeds Koi fish and I'm telling you I feel sorry for female kois because they get hurt when mating. Monkeys on the other hand are okay but I think they're pretty hard to maintain. I'd still stick with pet dogs.
