I'm a little upset that I spent $850 for this fish tank with "magic fish" and all it does is take up room on the counter. Every once in a while someone will "feed the fish" or something but nothing happens. Is this how it is supposed to be or do I have a bad tank? LOL

It actually does a lot for your family, but most of it is 'invisible.' Your family members will be a lot happier, for example. You didn't waste your money.
