Strange Pets

Weird, wonderful, and outright strange pets are becoming more and more popular, and it seems that there is no limit to the animals you can domesticate.
Lets start with fish. You would think that fish in a tank are pretty mundane and boring, but a quick trip to a few aquariums will soon turn that theory on its head.
Tropical marine fish from the Great Barrier Reef are a great place to start, with electric eels, puffer fish, toadfish, parrots, angles, and clowns just being the tip of the iceberg.
But you cant just go out and catch some fish and plop them in a tank. Only specially licensed aquarium suppliers can provide our native fish to pet shops.
Still too boring for you? How about a buying a fish that looks like a lizard, has coral-like horns, breathes with gills, has a fish tail, but walks on four legs! Its an Axolotl.
