    Well, since you asked!

    Kishi and I went to the Aquarium of the Pacfiic about a month ago and it was so much fun !_!

    We saw Penglins


    Crabs


    Jellies


    PG's lunch


    And got our fingers cleaned!


    If any of you get the opportunity to touch a manta ray, do it! They feel so amazing!
    I also have a great video of an octopus coming out of his home and preening all over the tank, but hell if I can figure out how to get it off g+

    The term ornamental fish tickles me.

    Koi fish are pleasant to watch. We have a big ole pond outside work with a few of them in, plus some goldfish and probably others. It's pretty nice.

    We once had a koi. Its name was Picasso, and it was clinically insane. I saved his life on three separate occasions - the most memorable of which being when he tried to SWALLOW ANOTHER FISH WHOLE and choked on it. I had to stick my fingers down its throat and pull the other fish out.

    Goldfish and koi I'm rather eh on because they're filthy and require a lot more room than most people give them. Tropical fish for life. Let's go Team Cichlid, Team Gourami, Team Livebearers and so forth. Speaking of Livebearers, Mollies love to nibble your fingers the way you mentioned and it's adorable.

    Go team Malawi Cichlids!


    I agree with pike on the gf and koi. too messy for how not so cool compared to other fish they are

    these are the fish I currently keep:

    I used to live across from a botanical gardens that had a Koi Pond in it. I was always terrified of how big the fishes were...
