Who Do I look Like?

The Deepwater Horizon, owned by Transocean and leased to BP, caught fire April 20, 2010, after an explosion and sank. The rig, with a platform bigger than a football field  was one of the most modern and was drilling in 5,000 feet of water.

The massive oil spill that threatened to eclipse even the Exxon Valdez disaster spread out of control, washing ashore along the Gulf Coast. It is of grave concern.

Unique feats of engineering will be necessary to cut off the gusher more than a mile beneath the surface of the ocean and experts are warning that its success is far from certain.

In fact, oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico just keeps getting worse and worse. The slick is getting bigger every day. The environmental havoc from this oil spill is just beginning. It threatens destruction to wetlands and sea life as well as the livelihoods of fishermen and the health of clean-up workers. Apart, dead turtles are seen washed ashore as well. In other words, a colossal damage has already been caused to wildlife and animals.

Laden with oil from the BP spill, a brown pelican attempts takeoff on East Grand Terre Island, Louisiana, on June 4.

The oil threat is weighing especially heavily on Louisiana’s state bird. “The brown pelican was just pulled off the endangered species list, and they are sitting on nest in the barrier islands … the first point of contact for oil,” Melanie Driscoll, director of bird conservation for the Louisiana Coastal Initiative of the National Audubon Society, told National Geographic News in late April.

Can fish really make good pets? Some people don’t think so, but if you are a Koi owner you know differently.

To many people, for example all orange Koi look alike, but once you get to know your fish you begin to notice that you can tell one from another very easily, even if they have the exact same coloring.

Feeding time is another opportunity for getting to know your fish better. It is one of the best times to observe their individual personality traits. Like us some are bold, some are shy, some aggressive, some passive… Feeding time is always a fun time because your Koi are usually at their most active then.

You can also teach your fish to eat out of your hand. It is a lot of fun and visitors and children will get a big kick out of hand feeding your Koi.

So the answer to the question “Can fish make good pets?” is, in my opinion, a resounding YES!
