Fish aren't "pets", they're living decorations.

Skunks are actually pretty neat, but given how they behave in the wild, they'd constantly be rooting around in your carpet and hiding under things.

*eta I'm with Rogue, go with the chinchilla. It's the next best thing to having a baby Ewok in your home.

not really, you can do a shark tank for a few hundred, with a cheap sharks.

My husband had one that lived for 3 years. He got it from a wedding (they used them as center pieces). The fish lasted longer than the marriage

Well, rodents don't live very long either when you get down to it. Mine lasted maybe 2 years.
