Just this morning I seen this 8-foot by 8-foot by 4-foot (not sure about this dimension) tank for sale, and it pretty much would take up an entire small room. But how cool would that be? Other than you would need a small crane to pick the thing up and then how do you get it into your house? :confuzzeled:

It's on Aquarist-Classifieds .... don't remember the particulars though, but you can probably find it if you look through yesterday's adverts.

Lisa your Kaleeko is just so beautiful! I would love to get one just like him someday! Will end up having to design my house to accomodate the gigantic tank :hyper: But a good 5 year plan nonetheless :smitten:

Big yawn.

I love the colours on his tail in the previous pictures. Just like a sunset :)
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.
