Five reasons why fish make great pets

All your love for cats and dogs notwithstanding - everyone can agree on the fact that these big pets can be quite noisy. And sometimes, in quite inappropriate situations, like when you are trying to sleep.

On the other hand, fish don't make any sound, whatsoever. So, you won't have to worry about troubling your neighbors or your guests with any noises.

Not only are fish quiet, they also occupy little space.

This is the primary reason why increasing number of people are shifting to adopting fish as pets.

Courtesy high costs of living, our homes are getting smaller in size, thus parenting a cat/dog is becoming way more difficult.

As for a fish, all you need is a tank/bowl, some food and accessories.

Your fish will spend most of its time sleeping, eating and swimming through its tank, without troubling you much.

In that sense, they happen to be quite low-maintenance, compared to the usual suspects (dogs and cats).

For instance, you don't need to buy them cool gizmos or take them out for walks to keep them entertained.

They can easily stay home alone.
