Caring for fish
Before you get a fish as a pet, find out everything you need to know about looking after the species you're interested in. You must prepare a suitable captive environment, find out where you can obtain the food it will need and whether it should be kept alone or with others. Get a vet who is knowledgeable about treating that type of animal and find out how long it is likely to live, so that you are aware of the long-term commitment. There are quite a lot of things to think about!
