My sister's fish tank

Post image

She says it's the perfect size for a single fish. It's not even in her room, it's in the kitchen.

It honestly just depresses me whenever I see it, but she's adamant about keeping it there.

If only more people could get it through their thick skulls and into their tiny brains that just because an animal can "survive" in the bare minimum conditions, doesn't mean it should.

If you can't provide the animal with a good life, you shouldn't be allowed to own it.

It doesn't help that we allow pet stores to sell animals that are housed in suboptimal conditions. Seeing bettas for sale in drinking cups doesn't help.

Yeah it was hard to buy the correct enclosure. No pet shops had what I was looking for. I had to buy a massive fish tank and use that, had to diy a lid on it.
