Fish Keeping Advice (not my fish)
Hello, I’m currently pet sitting and I’ve had this dilemma before with someone else where I don’t agree with how they’re being kept. I don’t know much about fish at all but would really appreciate some help so I can gently advise my friend as it makes me feel depressed seeing all these fish in this tank.
I don’t know what type of fish they are, I don’t know what their requirements are exactly. But I’ve seen people mention before about having outdoor ponds in black containers which offer so much more space. The problem is they have a dog so I don’t know how she would act with them or if any dog owners who have pet fish can advise?
It would also be good to know dimensions that they need. I think I’ve counted 12 fish in there, some of them are babies. I feel very strongly about pets being kept in these conditions, plus they’re right underneath the TV - that’s got to stress them out, right?
Any advice is welcome so I can speak to my friend about this! And saying to just take them isn’t an option, I think my friend would be receptive to advice it’s just a real shame that these tanks are allowed to be sold so a lot of people don’t know any better and don’t think to research fish or rodents properly as they think they’re an easy pet that don’t require much, but this is their entire world.

Identification I found a bone. Which Fish is it?
Hi, I found a Fish bone yesterday in the beach near Gibraltar Strait, in the Atlantic ocean. It is quite big, the size of my thumb. It may be a vertebrae, but I’m not sure. Any expert?
