Well, worth only a penny for best butt and a penny for best looking. Must not have been an LA establishment.

:o Is that a whole row of timpani in between the orchestra and chorus?

Yes, and the venue is the so called "whispering gallery".
Reality trumps our fantasy far beyond imagination.

48 Dollars??  Thats less than £40 for that unit.  Is that an exceedingly cheap shop, or is that what you'd expect to pay?  Something like that over here would cost well over £80!  That's it.  I am moving to my favourite part of America, New England, up that way, to take advantage of such lucratively cheap offers!

It's from Petco which is a chain retailer. This is my first time shopping for tanks so I have no idea if it's good or not.
I just love the $1 savings they are advertising.

Really? £80 for a 22 l aquarium setup? I'm moving to my favourite part of Britain where I can take advantage of such ludicrously expensive offers!   :o

I paid £69.99 for a "starter kit" of similar dimensions in 1995...perhaps I was duped.   :-[  Village petshop in wee Yorkshire town, so it was.

Probably not duped. Small shops can't afford to give things away like large chains do. I used to work in that business, we gave tanks and such cheap and made our $$$ on fish and accessory items.

Value (IMO) is directly proportional to the amount of pleasure one gains from watching the animals at play. I personally spent many thousands, no regrets whatsoever.  :)

I saw miles Davis play near the end of his career. He wore a red outfit and paced back and forth, occasionally playing a few notes.
