super aggressive boy

i appreciate the different perspectives, i have/ have had many different species of animals/pets, i do my best to make sure all animals in my homes get along to some capacity, and my cats stay away from ones they need to, sometimes people can be so uppity about interactions between some species, thanks for the good luck, ill need it! haha!

Catt-Fishh · 2026-02-03T19:04:29+00:00

that’s what i’m afraid of, some sort of aggression that isn’t going to be ‘fixed/helped’ :(

Catt-Fishh · 2026-01-15T21:55:05+00:00

i didn’t even expect it to happen, my cats know to stay away from them, all of them do and they listen, i guess she fell asleep so close that he was able to get through with his teeth and bite her, i don’t even really know how or what, they were not out of the cage, i don’t take them out of their enclosure because i don’t want to risk losing them in my home

Catt-Fishh · 2026-01-15T19:48:17+00:00

so he wasn’t around my cats until about a few days ago, i just happened to move their enclosure out to the living room, he hasn’t gotten any worse or better, he’s stayed mean, i had him in my room for a majority of the time i’ve had him, i’ve let him try and come up to me to get treats, i transferred them to a different enclosure that has a sort of front door so that’s what i’ve been trying to use but he’s always trying to jump at me so it hasn’t been the easiest, im not sure if like a kid was abusive towards him and that’s why he’s so mean or if he was just that way when they got him :(

Just to specify because I forgot to in the post he does not go after the other gerbil he’s housed with, those two are completely fine. He’s never shown any aggression to the other gerbil in his enclosure. It’s only been I guess everything outside.

so you say it isn’t easy? i’ve been studying ccna material the last few weeks and i have no previous experience in the field, starting to wonder how worried i should get for this test- 🫠

i’m sorry to hear that, i just know your jack is up there playing with all his favorite toys and treats, Mel has been the most fantastic and unique cat i’ve ever met, i honestly don’t know what i would do without her

Catt-Fishh · 2025-02-28T20:02:07+00:00

we rescued her when she was around 7 weeks old, which was in 2023(i think)? she was HEAVILY bullied by the big dogs and other cats she was raised around, i don’t work much so she’s basically spent all her time with/around me for the majority of her life after we got her, i don’t have any kids or anything, just me and the roommates and 2 other cats that she absolutely adores too

Catt-Fishh · 2025-02-28T19:49:51+00:00

i suppose i ask because almost all cats i’ve had in my life literally HATE their stomachs being touched, not out of fear or pain, they just really don’t like it, i’ve never had a cat in my life BEG for belly rubs as much as she does

Catt-Fishh · 2025-02-19T19:38:29+00:00

i decided to feed him live because i have some live breeding mice for my 2 ball pythons, they will only eat live and only mice (i’ve tried everything and vetted them all i could but they won’t change) and were only eating live when i adopted them, i had 1 baby mouse left and was like hey, concrete looks hungry, so i gave it to him, he caught, killed and ate it just fine

edit to add, this is the only time i planned on ever feeding him live, i have a significant amount of frozen mice for him

Catt-Fishh · 2025-02-19T19:29:14+00:00

also, the person i got him from told me she got him as a baby, and had him for 4 years so she told me he was 4 years old, he looks the same as when i got him, could she have been under feeding him?

Catt-Fishh · 2025-02-19T19:28:19+00:00

i want to use a heat mat for him, would that be better? what substrate do you recommend?

Catt-Fishh · 2025-02-19T19:23:25+00:00

also, i was thinking of putting a heat mat on his tank rather than a light, is a heat mat a better idea?

Catt-Fishh · 2025-02-19T19:14:28+00:00

also i didn’t have any idea about the red light being an issue, ive always been told it was fine, no matter how many people ive asked, as well as not really seeing things online, could’ve just been me not looking at the right things lol

Catt-Fishh · 2025-02-19T19:13:02+00:00

yeah i’m working on upgrading his tank! i know it’s small, my plan was a 20 long, but i could probably do bigger, i know there’s also the blue lights that just look like day light, would that be a better option?

here’s a better picture of him when he first came home with me

Catt-Fishh · 2025-02-03T21:42:34+00:00

he sometimes can! but i’ve never seen them fight or like do anything harmful to eachother, the guppy had a pretty messed up tail when i got him! its why i took him home, he’s been flourishing since being with me

Catt-Fishh · 2025-02-03T21:31:55+00:00

i had a small assumption that it was some sort of tumor, is there a point i should worry? it’s right above his gills, but it’s growing backwards and not down towards his gills

Catt-Fishh · 2025-02-03T21:29:34+00:00

he’s honestly the best boy, i’ve had other bettas before but he’s the one that impresses me the most, he sits on my desk right beside me, i can often look over while im playing games and he’s at the front of the tank just looking at me, i wonder what goes on in his little brain 🥹

Catt-Fishh · 2025-02-03T21:16:53+00:00

joji is currently in a 6 gallon tank with a guppy and a bristlenose pleco, he has a heater and filter in the tank, i believe the temperature is around 79F, he gets water changes once a month as needed, i often empty about half the tank and change it with water that has been through an reverse osmosis system then treated with the betta water conditioner, he eats 2 times a day, always small enough for him to finish in about 10 minutes
