Why Fish Make The Worst Pets

You can play with cats, dogs, bunnies, and even rats, but can you play with a fish? no, didn't think so. Sure maybe they're the easiest pet to take care of, but their hardly entertaining. most if the time fish do nothing but swim.

Fish can be very expensive because of the equipment needed to keep them alive. Tanks can cost up to $ 20 to $500 or more. Rocks as well as other decorative scenery are a common items that people will purchase for their fish's home, that can become very pricey, and of course the fish itself, depending on the fish. For example, a tiny gold fish that you have won at the fair costs about $.05-$1.00 ,but on the other hand a fish from the pet store can cost you up to a thousand dollars, specifically the lion fish.

Why purchase a fish when they don't even live for at least two years? Disease can strike in a blink of an eye. Ick is one of the many diseases that fish can carry, and it spreads through a school of fish which can more that likely wipe them all out! Ick attacks the insides of the victim by eating away the flesh, then ends peating the exterior of the fish ewww. Hopefully this will now show yo why fish make the worst pets.
