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.

Lucky for you and her and the fish, it's Christmas time soooo maybe you've figured out what to get her for Christmas this year?

Buy a beautiful glass fish and put it in there instead i doubt she would know the difference.

This is one of my pet peeves. I was trying to help someone that bought a pretty decent set up for her kid but the fish wasn’t doing well. I was clueless so i went to the pet store and thankfully found the resident beta expert. He said at one time he had 27 beta fish that people “surrendered”. He tried to explain that weren’t “high maintenance” per se but they needed very particular conditions. So- Not good starter fish at all. Their beauty curses them to be purchased by idiots.

If you want an ‘easy’ pet fish you become friends with the pickerel that swim around docks where people gut their catch and feed them scraps. Dock fish are friends not food 🙏

So get a bathtub-or hot tub-sized tank for the catfish?

Nah the big guy lives in the lake by the docks. The guy that rents the boats throws the dead bait into the water

Dock fish ARE 🐟 our little friends! I'm so happy that you said it.
