This is why even though I love aquariums, I don't think I could have one. Like I get that the purpose of the image is to show that they have a much larger space than most other fish kept in aquariums, and that's a much bigger tank than most people have, but that still doesn't seem like a lot of room to live their entire life in. It just makes me sad to think about it.
Genuine question? Does that feeling extended to meat animals in mega farms?
Yes? And it also applies to people trapped in tiny apartments or shitty circumstances due to capitalism, but I don't have the power to change any of those things. I can however not buy an aquarium...
Atleast humans in small apartments can go outside without suffocating
I've had aquariums on and off through the decades. My last one was a 150 L tank, very well planted, and three small schools, zebras, lneons and guppies. All of them keep to small areas in the wild, and see to be fine in that sort of surroundings. Also, schools are mesmerizing. A Japanese aquarist, Takashi Amano was famous for designing huge aquariums, with massive forests, and just a few fish.
I think I've actually seen one of his aquariums in Lisbon, it was beautiful.
you just made me want to get fish again. i love tetras but i was a kid. i knew shit about fish so i couldn't keep them alive. by the time i was old enough to properly care for a fish we had our Oscar and those tetras would have just been Brunch. I don't think we had a fish named Brunch.
We had a very well cared for Oscar. He was a smart fish. He really only liked to eat tails. He was in a hundred gallon tank with just a few other fish besides his pet feeder halfgoldfish he refused to finish eating (every time he'd refuse to eat a goldfish, it got named after a meal or a food and became part of the fish family)
The bastard still tried to commit suicide like once a month. We were just lucky someone was usually home because I know what the cats wanted to do. I don't know what the damn fish wanted but he'd jump out of the tank regularly.
