The beginning paragraph screams ingnorance. Fish are challenging pets to keep well. You have to have an array of chemicals and testing kits in order to ensure that proper water parameters are maintained. If the water is not within the range that is healthy for the specific fish you have they will grow sicker and sicker until they die prematurely. On top of this, every fish has specific parameters that they are able to tolerate and when putting together an aquarium you have to ensure that the fish are compatible on every aspect. This is merely to help them survive in a box in your house. Not even to allow them to thrive.

This exhibit is cruel. End of sentence. Goldfish require large bodies of water and space so they are not crowded together. They are messy fish meaning they produce a lot of ammonia. These fish are likely swimming in cramped, ammonia filled tanks that limit their life expectancy. Imagine if the same was done with cats or dogs? Put 10 cats in a single crate. Is that a fun exhibit? No. So the same should be true for these poor fish.
