Aquarium Advice FINatic
I was sitting in my apartment watching my 13 various species of fish eat bloodworms and I began a thought. These fish interact with each other as well as with myself. I began thinking they must feel. Even simple instinctual behavior such as mating, eating or swimming like crazy away from a net or even just coming to swim up and say hello. They must feel something even if it is simple. I have learned many things in my life but one of the most fundamental and prolific things I have learned is that we must respect our planet and living things. This idea and respect not only did I learn as a child but also as an adult on this forum site. As I was thinking about my fish and the global problems that our species and the species within our ecosystem face as a whole- I began to cry. There are many things we can do everyday to improve the survival of all. Whether it be recycling, the proper disposal of medications and chemicals, avoiding littering, catch and release or joining an organization. We all can do our part to increase the longevity of our own man kind and the nature around us. I here share my feelings and would out of full respect like to read your feelings and suggestions on this topic. *Please be respectful of others and respect to ideas.
