I think you were all right, the mermaid is a bad idea!!!! Right now my wife complains that I spend too much time with my friends. The mermaid would complain that I spend too much time with my rays.
Always wanted a Redtail Catfish, but only if I could give it a good home. My 10'x4'x2.5' just isn't big enough for life. :-(
A breeding pair of wels cat in an inwall tank (wich will be in the house I am gonna build when I become a billionaire).
They are illegal here since they are endangered and native to my area, but Im sure they don´t mind if I have a breeding pair.
