When you think about a pet fish, your mind often wonders to gold fish in a tiny cramped bowl.

Fish and fish bowls are cheap and "easy" and people usually provide a fish for their children as a first pet or some people use fish as a display/decoration at their wedding venue/birthday etc.

Fish bowls are inadequate care and pet stores should be encouraging healthy pet care methods. Bowls contribute to many MANY problematic fish care techniques. Ammonia quickly builds up, the fish gets bored, their growth is stunted etc. Which often leads to early death.

here is an enormous amount of misinformation when it comes to fish care.

I believe we should make a change for the benefit of every fish in each pet store.

We can start by spreading information and education about fish care and banning the sale of pet bowls (and other unfiltered fish tanks) in PetSmart. One of the largest pet supply companies.

Fish are lives and worthy of a good healthy environment. When you purchase any animal, not just fish, you should commit to the best possible care for that creature.
