Talk about raising pet fish at home.

I wanted to raise  a pet because I was spending so much time at home due to COVID-19. But I didn't have the guts to raise a dog and a cat. So, my family settled on fish instead.

Fish are pretty low-maintenance, as long as you provide them with a suitable environment. I get vicarious satisfaction from watching the colorful fish swimming around. Sometimes, I don't know where the time goes as I watch them. (lose track of time) They get really happy when I feed them, and it's really cute

I do have to replace the water in the fish tank on a regular basis. I use tap water that has rest for a day or two. I need to mix the water with the water in the tank to match the temperature. When the fish lay eggs, it's best to separate them to prevent the bigger fish from eating the baby fish.

I feel bad for my kids because they are housebound.

Yeah, I hear you. Try raising a pet at home. The kids get a kick out of it.

I am allergic to animal fur.

Then, why not try raising fish with your kids?

Oh, you mean I should get a fish tank?

Yes. We have pet fish at our house. It's wonderful.
