I came back here to share this post I saw the other day. Fish are beautiful, living creatures. They might not express emotion or personality like dogs or cats, but they are extraordinary albeit small things. It hurts my heart to see these once free fish get cooped up like this, living in their own waste in broom closets, in the pet store, and in some kid’s grossly small tank or an adult’s wine glass or tupperware container once they’re bought. Fish need good living space, water quality, and a proper type of environment. They might be hardy and seem able to live in tiny spaces with no care, but so can humans in the poorest of slums. Before you buy a fish, make sure you can take care of it. And I hope that one day people will try to change how inhumane they’re treated in stores.
tags: i hate Petsmart sometimes. I got my beautiful sunburst wag platy and my red-tailed black variatus from there. and there were so many fish in those tanks. they were good sized. but so many. and I could only take 2 home because of my tank size. But now they're happy little buggers and swim right up to me when I approach the tank. don't like my family members tho. but they've come to realize I feed them.
