I want a pet! Something kinda cheap, cute, and is easy to take care of and doesn't bite. Any suggestions?

How about getting a salt water aquarium? They look really cool, can be a hobby and don't make any noise. Though they aren't really cheap as far as getting them how you want them, they can be a good hobby. I've had a salt water aquarium now for 3 yrs. It's a 155 gallon aquarium. I didn't start off with everything either. First I bought the aquarium, crushed coral/coquina and the stuff to clean the thing. It's huge. Eventually I got a lot of live coral, exotic fish, two small Moray eels, ameboeas, star fish and most recently a tiny lobster. It's addictive. Salty Aquariums are a lot to maintain, but their satisfaction is more of a pay off. I have someone to come and clean mine. I don't have the time to clean it myself. I think they look really cool. Have you ever been to something like a walk through aquarium? Some place that actually makes you feel as though you're in the ocean when peering into it? Thats the feeling I get everytime I look into mine. I also use High voltage lighting inorder to give the water that mid-day tropical sun look, kind of like the way the water looks at noon time in places like the Carribean. At night I have black lights that make the whole aquarium look as though it's glowing. It's really cool when you are having a party.
It's just a suggestion. If you're interested in them, look through your telefon book and search for aquariums. Go to the shop and see what I'm talking about. You might find it very fascinating.
