Look, if all you have is a 3 gallon fish bowl, no one will think less of you. No point in lying, and your defense is getting ridiculous. Apologize before it is too late.
After this, I'm gonna have to ask you guys to provide a potential stocklist for my 25,000 gallon tank. Well, it's not really a tank, I'm just gonna flood my basement a little bit. Well... a friends basement. A friend's friend, really. And it's not really a basement, it's just a big hole with some old stuff in it. More like a pond, except it's filled with old photos, and a running machine. Thanks.
