Cause they suck my finger

Cause they let me carry them up and hold them like my dog

Steve W., great question! Here's a link to a very similar thread from a few months back on same subject where many folks posted their stories:Why are we here?

Enjoy.

Beautiful and graceful fish and they look better in the yard, than a aquairum in a house. Also they get pretty darn big and never talk back and always are happy to see you and they stay at home, you just walk to the edge of the pond and they come rushing to see you. How many people can say there fish love them that much?
