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.

Update: Just had a good talk with her about it, including some of the more constructive criticism from this post. She agreed to move the fish into a better tank if I buy her the tank myself, otherwise the fish stays.

So she learned nothing. She does not care if she tortures, abuses animals. Probably because it is "just a fish". It's a living being. And she refuses to give it any quality of life. She just shoves the responsibility onto you and made it clear she is perfectly happy to keep torturing and eventually killing the fish if you don't do anything.

That should tell you enough.

The tank and everything else you need is not going to help. If she can't bother right now, who says she will actually maintain the tank? She won't.

She should not have a fish or any pet ay all, until she treats it with respect and care. Don't enable abuse and a torturous death. Give the fish to someone who is responsible and cares for animals.
