I'm a fan of Ferris Plock and Kelly Tunstall. I dig this video. It hits home where possession vs. freedom is an issue I struggle with. I'm torn between submitting to the joy of monogamous love, safety and passion with Joel or reclaiming freedom, momentum, and peaceful clear sense of self.Keeping ocean fish as pets is a sucky idea, impressive as it is. I saw a nearly floor to ceiling tank while serving papers at a fancy law firm in Chicago once and dreamt of owning fish myself someday when I'd be "rich." Now I'm thankful I've had the chance to scuba dive, swimming with the fish, viewing them in the comfort of their own natural homes instead of imprisoning them. (Read The Voyages of Dr. Doolittle, Fidget's Story, for more ocean fish perspective.)I've learned that a lot of reef habitat gets destroyed by aquarium industry while capturing live fish for sale. They squirt cyanide in the rare fishes faces to stun them, often killing them and always destroying coral and other life nearby. This practice developed in the Philippines but is now widespread where ever there are pristine coral reef and beautiful rare fish . There are regulations against these practices; however, like all animal poaching, the business is so lucrative that while the demand for pretty aquarium stock is so great, cyanide fishing will continue to ruin reef environments. Sorry to spoil it for you, but notice that your favorite restaurant's fish tanks often change stock. Some aquarium fish may live a few years with excellent care and a lot of luck. In their own habitat they would live a lot longer. Most aquarium fish last only a month or so.
