So cute! I don't know what you'd do with them. Succulent maybe

Looking for a new pot for my 4yr old poinsettia.

I've seen those pots before and loved them!

@007Sean I didn't know you were into aquariums! We are thinking about doing a saltwater aquarium soon. It's a long process though and I'm not sure we have the patience to wait

Yep, I'm a Marine Biologist by degree. It takes quite awhile for them to cycle and really build up a superior biofilter, then going through all the stages of aging, diatoms blooms, hair algae blooms, getting water quality as perfect as possible....quite challenging in a closed loop box of water then there's the compatibility of the species of fish, corals, and inverts that have to be considered to avoid trouble down the road.

I'm jealous that you have a marine biologist degree. I have a second cousin that's a marine biologist and I am so jealous of her every single day...

One of my brothers is a chemical engineer and I am so jealous of how smart he is.

All of that sounds like a headache probably to most people, but someone like me loves stuff like that.

If I ever had a chance at a second life, I would definitely be getting a degree that has to do with animal science. I was always into animals and I always had jobs that had to do with animals like a dog groomer or vet technician. Both of them were internships that turned into jobs.

I may not have a animal science degree to show people, but all of the knowledge that I have gained through the jobs that I've done have really done me good in the sense of our farm. I am usually the one that is always taking care of the animals and I love it.

I have gone from just having dogs to almost having a zoo

people love coming to our house because we have such a wide variety of animals for any type of animal lover.

And I forgot to add that I am the type of person that has cage diving with great white sharks on their bucket list

I also have free diving with sharks in Florida on my bucket list

My poor husband has no choice but to do this all with me

I would love to have jellyfish and seahorses, they are probably my most favorite. Even though I do have a soft spot for octopuses

My most favorite animals that live in the ocean are sharks, whales, and dolphins but none of those would be able to fit at my house

We used to see Manatees and Dolphins a lot in FL.

I majored biology in University too.

My friend's father has a house right on the water where there are a lot of manatees and I always tell them to steal me a baby one

They used to always send me pictures of these cute little manatees all the time!

Back when I used to scuba dive we didn't use cages. So if sharks were there, or barracudas, or moray eels, we were too. A lot of the time probably most divers can't see far so have no idea what is out there.

I'd love that!!!
