Best Answer

Depending on the type of fish, here are some of the items needed:

  • a tank/bowl (you would be unable to use a bowl for a saltwater or fish that requires a heated tank)
  • fish food specific to the type of fish
  • information on how to care for the fish

That's basically it, for most simple types of fish. More unusual or expensive types may require additional things, so talk to the people at the pet store for more information.

Here are some additional things that could be purchased:

  • gravel/pebbles
  • filter
  • something that produces bubbles
  • fake plants or other decorations

1. You need a cat, in case the fish gets out of hand and becomes a vampire.

2. Keep a dog for the cat, in case he gos crazy.

3. Have a working toilet.

4. Have a friend who knows karate.

5. When things go wrong and you don't like the fish anymore, it's handy to have fish poison. But you can also take him out, clean him, fry him up and have some fish for lunch. Then eat the cat. Keep the dog, dogs own.

Some fish live in salty water and some not. Generally having fish that live in salty water costs more money. After buying, one should install a pump, a thermometer and some lights in the aquarium. It's also imperative to feed them with correct food based on what kind of fish they are.

pet fish or fish pet. You can say it however you want, but I say pet fish.AnswerIn English it is proper to say "pet fish" because in this case, 'pet' is actually being used as an adjective to modify the noun 'fish' by defining the relation between you and the fish. While its not UNIVERSALLY true, in English, adjectives come before the noun as in "red ball".
