Large, strange mailguy Kevin gets a gift aquarium from Blush publisher Jack Gallo. The tank looks like a nice, 20 gallon Nanocube, but since the camera doesn't focus on it, I can't be sure. We only get to see it from the side. Kevin is pleased with the gift and names the fish Jack Gallo.

There is also a nice, colorful saltwater fish in the tank that does not get a closeup - which is probably for the best, since Finch persuades Kevin to eat the fish for $20.

We don't see him eat the fish but I'm not happy with this plotline. Daring people to eat pets just isn't funny in my book. Too many goldfish get swallowed as bets, which is basically torture to a living creature. I realize the plot point is meant as a joke, and is only featured as a tag to the episode. Even in jest, I don't like references to animal cruelty.
