The idea that you can`t play with fish is also misguided. Of course you can`t play fetch – but that doesn`t mean they won`t interact with you and follow your finger around the glass, or play in the various different toys and features you put in their tank for them. When you feed them this too will create a commotion that`s fascinating and satisfying to watch. This makes them great company when you`re on your own and a very welcome distraction from the aforementioned work – but at the same time they won`t be constantly vying for your attentions and destroying things when you`ve turn your back. Fish are also a source of pride for many people, and in many ways custom aquariums become similar to gardens in that you can grow plants, feed your fish and watch the whole thing grow and develop with a sense of pride. You can discuss your success with other fish owners and show off your prize tropical fish to anyone who will listen. In this way it also provides a very satisfying and addictive hobby.
