What do you need to have a fish as a pet?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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.
