I am a fish lover and have been taking care of fish since I was a kid. I just love the sight of these beautiful creatures swimming around in their natural environment, free from any violence.
Fish are a popular pet for many people because they’re low maintenance and don’t require as much attention as other pets. However, if properly cared for, fish can live up to 10 years or more. Some fish even grow to be as large as a person and require a huge tank to house them.
