I have thought about it a few times. I had a buddy who used to have a fairly large 150 gallon salt water tank with 8 or 10 species in it. I don't really have a good place for a tank and most importantly, wow are they expensive. A tank like that is going to run about $1000 for the tank alone then add pumps and filters and then fish and you are looking at around two grand just to set it up. Then saltwater setups are extremely sensitive and the salinity or PH getting off by just a little or the temperatures going off a few degrees and all your expensive fish are dead.

I love watching them though. Very peaceful. Do you have some?

I have 2 tanks and 70 gallon and a 20 gallon. Have guppies, Harlequin rasbora and one ID shark. It is a peaceful hobby and enjoyable.

Fish are a little too boring for my tastes.

Cats. That's where they're at.

But seriously, please do check up on me from time to time.

I could end up chucking cats at people. Like a crazy cat lady.

Just notify the authorities, so they can ply me up with meds so strong, the side effects are way worse than whatever problem they were trying to treat in the first place.

But kitties all lead dual lives. Cute and cuddly until you turn your back on them and then :



Don't blame me if you had a cute overload watching that. :)

Oh, I've seen that.

Kinda wished they made that a real thing.

Screw playing as a woman in AC Unity, playing as a cat would be so friggin awesome.

The only AC game I've played is AC 4 so I associate the series with pirate shanties. Cute ninja kitties meowing along to pirate shanties FTW! :lol:

Cats I favour sometimes. Dogs are my favourite

Tropical Fish Keeping = 0
Cats = 3 and taking care of them is quite enough work for me! ( I just love the smell of cat poo in the morning! Not! :pfff:  )

By the way, if they could get to them they'd eat the fish anyway!
One loves plastic, one loves aluminum foil, and the other eats wires, the wire eater has been the most expensive cat to keep, as all critical wiring has had to be armor plated, and that is not a joke! :pfff: 

However we love them unconditionally! :) 

It's a cat lover thing, you either have it or you don't! :)
