    Tropical fish and cats being the same effort is absolute madness.

    Have you tried setting up a saltwater aquarium? I cry just watching tutorials.

      Wait until you pay the credit card bill it all went on! Ongoing maintenance is not too costly, but the initial set up is easily $1000+. And that does not include the fish, live rock, invertebrate, etc. I have no regrets starting a saltwater aquarium (I started it in 2010), but I needed to be at a place in my life/career where that was feasible.
