part 347 dimensions of sight and sound

and of mind. Do do do do do do do do do do do.

How was your end-of-December-into-January time, meme? Did you make any New Year's resolutions? Or light a candle in your window in the hopes that Himaruya would update again instead of leaving us behind like an 19th century light house keeper's wife whose husband has gone off to sea? ... Did you?

Enjoy part 347!

You're probably being facetious, but... A lot of people really could do with thinking more about owning goldfish before they get one, because many people severely underestimate the ideal setup that goldfish require to be fully healthy (and presumably happy). A goldfish can live for a very long time with adequate setup, but a bowl or an unfiltered 1-gallon tank is not it; 10 gallons is closer to the minimum, though that's still a little too small. Not to mention they're happier with friends, so that requires an even bigger tank. And certain types of goldfish require a little more attention and care (bubble-eyes are the more particular... from what I remember)

What I'm saying is, it's okay to own goldfish, but they require more care than just dropping them in a bowl and calling it a day, and people should be aware of that.

(And don't even get me started on bettas.)

/dif too but

This 10000000000x. It's also important to buy fish from a reputable store. I feel so terrible everytime I go to the pet store to get items for my dog, because of the dozens of fish crammed into a tank that is typically only suitable in size for one fish.

Yeah, that really sucks. :(

I used to want to have goldfish really badly, but then realized I don't have the space (or time) to take care of them properly, alas.

They're so cute though :(
