I always wanted a pool and then I also have the shark tanks in there. When I saw that part in the story, I knew who took the picture.
Ive been in love with fish tanks and sharks for a while. (
And not just shark jokes.) I actually bough Ken Griffey Jr.s old tank online and have that in my living room. I knew somebody who was selling it in Orlando. Actually, the company ended up buying it back from me and building me another one for the same price because the old one was too tall. It was like 10 feet tall and there was too much water pressure to have it in my living room, or whatever, so they build me one that was rounder and shorter. Im going to have exotic fish in there, a couple sharks, some black tips, some bonnet heads
thats my mild tank.
Then I have the tank in the grotto thats going to have semi-aggressive fish like lemon and leopard and puffer fish and the fish with poisonous spikes thats in
Deuce Bigalow.
Then Ill have my personal shark tank thats going to be in my basement. My basement used to be my weight room but Im converting it to a shark tank. I cut a whole wall out down there and replaced it with a 10,000 gallon shark tank. Thats going to be my aggressive tank, only filled with bullhead sharks. If anybody knows what a bullhead shark is, its the No. 1 killing shark in America. It can go in salt water and it can go in fresh water. Im going to have a salt water tank so I can have my eels and my stingrays too.
Im going to have three bullheads in there. I originally wanted six, but the guy who has to clean it once a week said that hes not going to get in the tank with six of them, hell get in with three. Once they get big enough, Ill have to get rid of them. The guy who cleans the tank actually goes and catches the sharks himself, because you know, these sharks you cant just go buy, theyre illegal.
Ever since
Jaws theres been something about fish and sharks that Ive always liked. Also when I saw
Cribs and Ice T had a shark tank in the back of his place, I was like, Oh man! Thats what it is!! Ive been trying to plan this shark tank for the last seven years of my career Ive been talked out of it by my mentor, Otis Smith. He first talked me out of it when I was a rookie and I was going to spend my whole paycheck on a fish tank. I was like Man, I want a fish tank, thats all I want to leave with, if I dont get another dime I can know I got a fish tank, and Otis shut that down. So this has been years in the making.
hes having tanks built that some of us can only dream of
