You know you've reached a crossroads when you're considering a pet turtle. I'd forget the fish. That couple grand would buy a nice scope. Now a turtle is cool. low maintenance, and great at partys. my daughter ,20 years ago, Had a thing for the ninja turtles and we got her a turtle for a pet. She called it
Leonardo and believe it or not she made this little mask to put on it's head. I still crack up when I think about it.
