reading up a bit, thy eat a fair amount, and thus, it has to go somewhere (out the dolphin's plumbing.

do you know how much maintaining good water will cost you, by doing water changes !!

these cost hit you each time you do them,

and I hate it if some get into it, and after a while realise, it is not for them, and put it up for adoption,

than someone ells gets it as a pet pall, and after a year again realise it is not for him.

we se it so often, its fun, it's nice, get it.

so I urge to consider the cost that will hit you for up keep.

if you can convince your wife, no more tanning, forget the RV, kids, hmmm, thy can bike to school, and in stead of a flat screen, you walk to the library, than go AHEAD.

(all assuming your income is 150.000 minus) in case you have more than 150.000, don't consider the cost, only the fact that you go into it for a minimum of 20 years ore so (and if you have any feelings for the fish, YOU CANT DIVORCE ! and move on)

I think we just need to call the Japanese guys in the documentary "The Cove"...

They can get us a hell of a deal!

Are you positive it is a dolphin? Sounds more like a great white. Easy to confuse the two as they look almost identical, except for the drain on top of the dolphin's head.
