Whatever "they" end up being. His ability to care for pets always felt slightly variable at home - would be come home one night from a long trip and find the fish belly-up? - but he's got a lot less to occupy his time here so far. Something unapologetically alien looking by Earth standards, with lots of legs, sounds ideal.
It's quiet for a bit, the two of them there in his empty apartment, fishless and content. Eventually, Mulder says, "We'll have to pick up a television, while we're at it. These little screens aren't the same."
Turns out he needs a sickly glow on him to fall asleep, even on another planet.
