I seem to specialize in invisible fish. At one point the wall of tanks had one lurker puffer, 3 crepuscular Synodontid catfish, a bashful school of deaui catfish (too much light for them to be diurnal) and two tanks of Dwarf Neon Rainbows- the only readily visible fish in the system. You had to sit and watch for a while to realize the tanks were fully occupied.
Most folks are so accustomed to confetti tanks that they don't realize that sort of tank is boring and stereotyped, while species tanks are to me are always and endlessly fascinating.
FWIW, YMMV.

No, I did see the wet thing sequences and enjoyed them. I may well adopt the "slimy wet thing cages"...

Funny Observation:
Do you notice when you change the words aquarium or fish tank to cage it kinda makes this hobby sound inhumane to an outsider?
Weird how a simple re-wording can make an impact on ones perspective.

PETA does consider the hobby unethical. I do not.

PETA considers any pets unethical. They're rather extreme for my tastes.
