Is fish keeping a healthy hobby, it's not like you get extra exercise, and does it lower stress?
With the publication of the RSPCA report, the shape of suffering, I thought I'd look over the report and give you my thoughts. Then I had to reduce the volume because I'd got so worked up. Can you spot where I editted out the swearwords? Oh and when I refer to parrots, or parrot cichlids, I mean Blood Parrots. Fish are bred to very few standards for the most, and little concern about their short or long term welfare. I feel that this needs to change, and the best way is through our wallets. https://www.rspca.org.uk/documents/d/rspca/ec-report
The genetics of colours is an important part of fish keeping, but it's not that clear cut.
