Anyone ever notice how expensive having 6 tiny little fish is? How can such a small pet cost so much? We just recently (I say recently when I actually mean last week) got Ryan some fish for his birthday. The tank and just about everything needed for the start up came from my brother as a birthday present for Ryan. We just needed to ge the fish. So we decide on 6 fish, a pair of 3 different types. That itself was $20! Then we had to get a filter sponge for the filter...that also was $20! Now we think we are set. We've been feeding and watching, and amazingly no fish have died yet! But today we notice the water is getting cloudy. So off to the store again to find out what we can do. We pick up a chemical that is supposed to help...$5. Not bad this time. But if that doesn't work it maybe our filter...possible $40 for a new filter! Are these tiny little fish really worth it? We could get a new cat for that price!!
However, seeing the look on Ryan's face when he feeds the fish, watches them swim, or talks about them, I'd have to say it's worth it.
