| It's very 80's black leather couches, and very new money. Having said that, we have one in the kitchen. |

No but an aquarium in the bedroom is definitely low class.

| Keeping a nice aquarium is $$$... Are you talking about a little tank with guppies and treasure chests? |

| I would love a saltwater aquarium in the living room. My dentist has a gorgeous one. They have a calming influence. |

Hell no.
Then again, I grew up in the 70's where everyone had one in their homes. I used to love it when at night, all the lights would be turned off and the aquarium would be illuminated and I could watch the fish swim around until I fell asleep. Oh...The good ol' days. Now my kids just see the illumination of their iPads before bed. This brings up another question. Are waterbeds low class? |

| If you like it, can maintain it, and it reduces your blood pressure and stress- go for it. |

If you like it, can maintain it and it reduces your stress and blood pressure and back ache- go for it. Make sure your bedroom floor can support it.

| We have a 75 gallon african cichlid tank in our kitchen. We made it resemble their natural environment as much as possible. The kids love it and I love it. I will actually watch them while I drink my morning coffee. I also suck at taking care of the upkeep, so I hired someone to do it. |

| If it's a nice aquarium, I think it would be awesome! Aquariums are so calming and beautiful. |

| Definitely not! But it does require maintenance, to keep the water clean. It is low class if you don't do the maintenance. |

We had a beautiful 75-gallon tank with clown loaches in the living room, for several years. I raised them from tiny babies to a good size.
It required regular maintenance to look that good. I never cared what anyone thought, the location worked well for us. We had to rehome the fish once they outgrew the tank. I miss them, but they have an even bigger and better tank in their new place. |

We have a small saltwater tank in the kitchen-
Low class? Possibly. Cleaner than a cat? Definitely. |
