I'm looking to get a small(ish), inexpensive pet. Preferably one that's not too much to maintain, and also won't be too smelly.
Obviously I know if the cage or whatnot is cleanred properly that shouldn't be too much of an issue, but you know what I mean.
I live in an apartment (well, private house), so noise is also a factor.
Also, if you suggest a fish, maybe suggest a certain kind instead of just "get a fish". Like name or what color it is and what not. And also maybe let me know the price range and what they eat.
Thanks! =)

Another good pet could be a small lizard like a gecko or a pale agama, mind you geckos are pritty expencie along with the cage and equipment but agamas are fairly well priced and kinda cute looking for a lizard and can be held. i know fish dont generally small but lizards may have a slight smell.

If not I would suggest a fish. I wouldnt suggest a gold fish, because they are more likely to die (myne always die in 3 months, and i feed them enough and everything.) I would suggest like those sucker fish, or the angel fish. They should be around 3-10 dollars, and i think they eat normal fish food. They are pretty cute! You might need to buy a tank though... Those could be expensive.

Other than that, I use to have a goldfish that was black lol. But it was unique and really pretty. It had big bug eyes, and I got it from Pet Smart.
Hamsters are cute but they do tend to smell a little =/
Cux answered Thursday July 10 2008, 9:29 pm: You read my mind. I recommend a fish, and because it's probably the most inexpensive pet you can get, and it's small and easy to take care of.
Fish obviously don't make noise, and goldfish, which is what I recommend, only cost about $0.25 a piece, though some may be a little more toward a dollar.
The food shouldn't cost much, and if you go to PetCo or PetsMart, you can ask a clerk, and they should be able to tell you how often you should feed a fish and whatnot. The food shouldn't be too expensive.
