Marriage is all about giving and getting.. I really wanted the 55 gallon tank, because I am into big fish. It was also a ego thing. I have always wanted a big tank and said I would never get one unless I owned my own house. While I am happy that we got this 29 gallon tank. I am bummed because I was told that I couldn't get the fishy that would grow to feet long. It is also cheap entertainment for cats.
