some of these tanks teach young players horrible husbandry with fish. Not to mention birds. a small ass round cage for a lovebird? criminal.
When I started out this hobby I was determined not to make the same mistakes that many new fishkeepers do that are mostly caused by not researching ,and lack of patience which is really bad because if there is one trait you need to have it's having the patience of a saint.
And in the end I avoided all the common newbie mistakes seen in new fishkeepers which is something that can't be said for many other unfortunate people who failed or even worse just gave up on the hobby altogether because of things like not waiting for the new tank to finish cycling and killing all the fish in the process.
Many people who don't understand fishkeeping and fish in general just see fish as ornaments and nothing more which is just saddening because they don't see that it's a living animal with feelings and emotions .
This is why there have been millions of tragedies involving goldfish being flushed down toilets and these are the people who should NOT own fish or any other pet for that matter such as a cat or a dog.
Some people are so selfish they only get a pet such as a cat or dog to impress on friends and followers on social media just to get "likes" .
In my opinion a pet should provide more than just kisses and cuddles and instead provide valuable opportunities to things such as learning about natural environments , such as the animals , the plants and any other forms of life.
If you can provide for example a fish or a poison dart frog an environment as close to home as possible it shows you really care about the wellbeing of them and that you see them as the amazing creatures they really are instead of seeing them as vermin or ornaments.
