I need to block tv shows like Tanked and forbid him from going to aquariums.
He has always wanted a saltwater tank. NBD, they're a lot of work so we decided to wait a few years. We already own 3 55 gal tanks (we used to keep piranha) and they're in our basement storage room. They'll look really nice once we're ready for the extra responsibility.
Now he wants a ray. And a shark. Oh, and an octopus would be cool. < all of these are things that would need to be kept separately and would require tanks of at least 180 gal. Not going to happen in this house, especially the ray, since the ones he likes are venomous.
Oh, and do you know how intelligent an octopus is? They can escape their tanks. A smart spider that lives under water? Btch, please.
