Cinnamon Rabbit
"Do you know what goes best with Cinnamon?… SUGAR! and boy am I sweet"
6/25/2008

   The Cinnamon rabbit is beloved by breeders for its beautifully colored coat, and minimal grooming requirements!

   The Cinnamon Rabbit is a beautiful breed with an appealing color combination of rust with gray ticking. Although primarily bred for showing and meat, the Cinnamon also makes a good pet despite its large size. A friendly animal, it is compatible with other rabbits.

   Cinnamons usually have sunny dispositions, and they love attention…

English Spot Rabbit
"Not only do I have spots… I have a stripe right down my back!"
6/25/2008

  The English Spot Rabbit is prized for its beauty and graceful appearance!

   English Spot rabbits are mid-sized rabbits that are very active. This breed has a generally calm disposition and tolerates other pets very well. When handled starting at a young age, they can make good pets, although they are not the best choice for small children due to their high energy level.

French Lop Rabbit
"Oh Yeah!… Merci, It’s all in the Lop!"
6/25/2008

   A large breed, the French Lop Rabbit is one of the most popular rabbits in the United States, and perhaps the world!

   French Lops are active and sociable bunnies. They love and thrive on interaction with humans, as well as with other rabbits. Durable and normally even-tempered, this is a popular breed for children…

Nani (means Beautiful in hawiian)
"Nani means beautiful, but she’s so much more!"
2008-06-27

Here’s what Tiffany says about Nani:

"Nani came from a breeder that posted her on Petfinder.com I got Nani and her papers for free. She is the more traditional chinese type with less wrinkles and smaller head. Nani has been nothing but a joy since I have gotten her. Nani is learning to be a protection dog at this time and doing very well but she still loves to be her goofy ol self and run around and sniff the flowers.

She got to meet the local fire department and they want a mini pei for a fire dog now!! the chief told them no.. Nani is one spoiled girl she has her fancy collar and gets anything and everything she wants, being an only child.

I have a friend thats scared of dogs and she will walk around and growl and talk to him and follow him just to make him jump. She loves messing with people. Oh and bugs better watch out with Nani on the watch. We are finally learning that when you smash the bug it stops playing and its not fun anymore. Then she feels bad and lays by it and stares at it like ok Im sorry please play. "

Himalayan Rabbit
"This rabbit is white as a younster, getting brown highlights as it grows up!"
6/25/2008

   If you’re looking for a rabbit that loves to sit in your lap or be carried around, the Himalayan is the rabbit for you!

   The Himalayan rabbits are known for being one of the best pet rabbits. They are very calm, easygoing, and easy to handle. Himalayans are not demanding, but they do enjoy attention from humans. Their coats are easy to care for, so the only thing about them that requires great care is keeping their cages clean…

Freshwater Lionfish or Toadfish
"What fish looks like a stone, but eats like a toad?"
6/24/2008

  Though this critter is called the Freshwater Lionfish, it is actually much more of a brackish water fish… or even saltwater!

   No one is quite sure how this species received the common name of Freshwater Lionfish. They are not related to the saltwater Lionfish family and fortunately, are not venomous like the saltwater Lionfish. Probably someone with an overactive imagination couldn’t pronounce Batrachomoeus trispinosus and needed to call them something! In Australian common name for them is the Three-spine Frogfish…

Needle Nose Gar
"I know I’m called a ‘Barracuda’, but I’m actually a pretty nice guy!"
6/10/2008

  The surface dwelling Needle Nose Gar resembles a twig floating in the water, and so sometimes is called a Stickfish!

   This Needle Nose Gar, also called the Freshwater Garfish or Silver Needlefish, is not a gar at all but is actually one of the few freshwater members of the needlefish family. The common name of gar is used because there are similarities between this fish and the true gars. True gars are illegal to keep in many areas so this fish makes a good, legal substitute….

Fiona and Juno
"Cuteness often comes in pairs!"
2008-06-15

Here’s what Virginia says about Fiona and Juno:

"They are both so cute and cuddly! They always love to run around to the couch!"

"Fiona and Juno look so great together! I bet you really enjoy the company of these guys and that they are best of freinds. Thanks for sharing them here."

Arapaima
"This is the LARGEST freshwater fish in the WORLD!"
6/10/2008

  The Arapaima is considered by many to be the largest strictly freshwater fish in the world!

   The Arapaima, also known as Pirarucu, are beautiful, but they are a fish that can get up to 15 feet long. They are fast growers, powerful swimmers, and in the wild will jump out of the water to snatch small birds from low hanging tree branches. Because of its large size this is probably not really a good choice for a home pet, but is well suited for a public aquarium.
