Ooooooh, nice one! And then you could do like Kim Yong Il and feed tax inspectors and the likes to them. Oh, hang on, they're filter feeders.

Re: What would you do (fish-wise) if you were a multi-millionaire?
I remember reading somewhere... I don't remember in what book, about a throne-room built with a thick glass floor with fish swimming under it so it looked like you were walking on water. I always thought that'd be pretty cool.

I was also thinking of a crystal clear hollow bathtub filled with fish. then you could fill the tub and pretend you're swimming with them.

Naaah, BettaCouple. It would be awesome. Jim, am with you on the hollow clear bathtub idea. The only thing is the glass would need to be pretty thick so the temperature of their water wouldn't be affected.

Re: What would you do (fish-wise) if you were a multi-millionaire?
Does anyone remember watching Gummie Bears on Disneychannel? They lived underground and in their ceiling was a Glass-bowl looking thing where they had fish. Above ground, it appeared as a pond but the gummy bears lived under it and could look up and watch the fish Swim. Something like that would be awesome. You'd have the perfectly scaped pond in your backyard and be able to look up at it from the basement. I'd want that.

ahhh, armadillo, remember, in this fantasy you are super rich, so you'd be able to afford a water chiller to keep the fish cozy...lol

lol.. i think the view would be cruel to them on my part. but i believe it would be a construct of plexiglass for heat & cold issues.. and like jim said you can afford anything, so i'd have a computer connected to sensors and a heater and chiller along with the water pipe to calculate the necessary adjustments to keep the temperature constant for the fish.
if we're going to have a lab in the mansion, i'm working on those vampire bettas and betta suits that they could walk around the house in. |

- individual betta-sitter with no less than a pHD in labyrinth fish + a fully valid veterinary degree
- custom-made tanks would allow for lots of tunnels and enooormous space
Oh, and I'd be really influencial and I'd pass laws on animal cruelty (outlawing sick betta fight vids on youtube). I'd also protect the pet shop profession and make it require a degree in animal husbandry, specialised to each animal you are selling. I'd also make people have a permit to keep fish, and there'd be fish social services to check for neglect or abuse.

I would have a huge cylindrical shaped aquarium, floor to ceiling in the middle of an enormous foyer, and filled with marine fish, anemones, etc. In the dining room I would have a huge rectangular aquarium built flush into the wall at eye level when sitting down to eat. I would love it to be a vivid tropical fish setting.
...and lastly, I would hire only the best people to preform maintenance for the fish inside, as well as my koi ponds outside! TEE HEE! |

I would have a HUGE custom built cylindrical floor to ceiling tank in the middle of my game room, library or banquet with 3 dolphins in it.

Wow, dolphins! Oh, I'd hire a scientist (to continue on that mini-engineering idea) to engineer mini dolphins (molly-sized).
