The aquarium came with the office.

The previous tenants had it stocked with rare tropical fish, and when we moved in, I considered it a nice bonus.  

But I couldn't get anyone to take on the "additional job responsibility" of cleaning the tank or feeding the fish.  Apparently, the office workloads were so unbearable there was no time to powder flakes or clean filters.  And I'm the CEO, so you won't catch me getting my hands dirty.  It's an unspoken corporate commandment I take very seriously: "The CEO shalt do no real work."

So now we have a tank of scummy water filled with dead fish greeting every client that walks in the front door.

It's an excellent first impression.
