Apologies Stacey. I seem to have the wrong end of a couple of sticks
here.

That's OK. Just to be sure I went and looked in the mirror. No
warts or unsightly hairs where they shouldn't be. Also, didn't feel
too much like moving from my house to beneath a bridge.

FWIW - those things look good, but that's all IMO. They look worse
when they
get dirty. If you're just putting shrimps in them then I guess they
would be
okay, but I wouldn't put fish in them - too cruel.

I first saw one in a Brookstone store in a local mall. At first I did
a double-take because they are so clever-looking. I thought it would
be nice to have one for my desk. It never occured to me that it might
be inhumane until I started looking at the AquaBabies sites on the
internet and finding protest pages about them. That's when the
lightbulb flickered. (Aquababies actually have fish/frogs/crabs in
them, quite different from the brine shrimp.)

I know you're not a troll, and I apologise. Don't bite me

I think trolls have big teeth. Mine are a bit smaller and wouldn't
hurt as much.
