We didn't get to name "Oscar", as he's a rescue/surrender/re-homing. Otherwise, the next boy dog was "Zoidberg" and the next girl, "Leela".
Make sure you have a video camera running on it at all times - that stuff's a money tree for "Funniest Home Video" shows.
I've always liked the freshwater red oscar cychlids, for fish, (and, naturally, Axolotls) but the Loved One would go for a big marine tank, no doubt. I don't think he'd be happy until he had a shark in there, but otherwise he's always wanted blue tangs (well before Finding Nemo and Ellen made them "famous") and chaetodons.

I had a friend who had marine aquaria. When he wnet on vacation, I would tke care of them. that is, until he got the suicidal octopus. i went there thre days in a row to find that he had lept from the tank to the floor. The final time, he was so dessicated that they were pretty certain that even the regenerative powers of octopi were not going to bring him back.
After that, I decided that taking care of animals that were $400
and suicidal was not my thing.
