It actually breaks my heart to see fish in goldfish bowls or too many to a tank, like 5 or 10 in a little 5 gallon. Ugh! You guys are right, people think cause its not a dog or a cat, the animal isn't worth the same treatment.

I dont think certain perstores should carry fish unless there employees are willing to ward off idiots who wanna little fish to sit in a bowl for a month just for decoration.

Sorry if that sounded a little hostile. I just think all animals deserve equal care. Fish frogs, and furries alike.
