I feel like some people will put any babies there, human or animals, as long as they'll get money, views or just attention from it. It's sad and messed up, but the issue is that people who know how wrong and messed up doing something like this is would also never do anything like that. People who are doing it will never bother to use their brains and think something like "Hm, maybe I should not be doing that, maybe it's not right or good for that animal/s. How would I feel if someone did this to me?" They care only about the numbers and they are getting them, people will watch or send those people money (nope, no idea for what or why, but then again I can not know that since I don't think the way these people do)

I'm a pet groomer at a Petco and one time I saw one of my coworkers get screamed at by this dude because my coworker wouldn't let him purchase the betta to place in a 0.5 gallon container that mostly is used for transportation and crickets. My coworker even offered to keep the betta off of the purchasable ones for up to 2 weeks until nitrites and nitrates and ammonia balanced. This was also when the $1 per gallon tank sale was happening and he tried to guide him in the right direction, but the customer just yelled at him then called corporate. In a rare situation corporate stuck by my coworker. Oh yeah also told customer I have 1 betta in a 10 gallon this is normal and easier to maintain he went off on me too. I fled back to the grooming salon lol.

@@Kami43644 Yep! So brackish water has more salinity than fresh water. I imagine it's hard to tell when brackish becomes salt water, due to the fact that salt water is well... extremely salty.

Even the very first fish I ever bought for my tank, never once did they question me at any of the Pet Smart stores or refuse to sell me any fish! And my mom was never questioned about it when she started her tank either, same for my brother's ex wife.

@@silvers_ink you can establish a tank without fish. A good cycled tank needs beneficial bacteria, which feed on fish waste products and (mostly) clean the water and maintain the PH. You can buy the waste product they feed on in chemical form, and you can also buy starter bacteria. you then spend....i think its like 4-6 weeks? growing your beneficial bacteria. You track this by continuing to add the chemical food to the water, then test the water and track PH changes. Once the beneficial bacteria can keep the PH level stable, you can safely add fish

You could get a decent tank for $50 in USA if you know what you are doing, particularly if you find a deal on craigslist or offerup and are willing to clean and rehab a dirty tank someone is getting rid of. Also petco does their 'dollar per gallon sale' on tanks once or twice a year but the tanks that are part of that sale don't come with anything included so you have to add on filter, lights, hood or cover possibly, and a stand probably. People like the cheap plastic starter kits because they are cheap and they are "everything you need" even though they are all tiny and made of plastic that decays and gets brittle over time not to mention what it might do to the water. The better quality 'starter kits' cost upwards of $60 for a 5 gallon or $75 for a 10 gallon. Which is still worth it if you care about your fish.

@Rat_in_a_bucket I've both bought and sold preowned tanks and even gotten some for free here or there from people.

As a former fish owner of some of the "easy" fish like guppies, I don't think any fish is a good idea as a classroom pet because they are expensive and high maintenance and you would need a second aquarium at your home to transfer the fish to during weekends and holidays and summer break. Doing aquarium water changes takes a lot of time and is pretty messy and you would be lugging a bucket or two of water to wherever the closest bathroom is which might be far from your classroom. Fish themselves can be quite fragile and might die unexpectedly in a short amount of time even if you did everything right, they can't be handled by the kids which is probably a bummer for them, and the kids are DEFINITELY going to tap the glass no matter how many times you tell them it's bad for the fish. I'd also be worried about some kids doing something that might harm the fish more directly like putting objects in the aquarium that might be toxic or trying to catch the fish when you aren't looking.

I had a hamster when I was a kid, my sisters friend threw it at a wall and she had done it so much to her own hampster she immediately knew it was in shock… I haven’t gotten a hamster since because every single person I have met mistreats their hamsters and I’m so scared I’d let someone hold them

[@ButterFromDiscord]

THEY WHAT? Ok, what you’ll wanna do is throw them at a wall.

Seeing bettas in tiny tanks has always bothered me. I had one for years, in a 20 gallon. They're so much more personalitied with space. He had a bestfriend who was a neon tetra, they went everywhere together and were always very active. It was also the only fish in the tank my beta allowed to exist.

[@zumathevenomousoctoling6997]

The best analogy I made with myself about why such a small fish needs a big tank is pretty simple, actually! You need a house or just a room to live comfortably? A house obviously A house in the size of a room wouldn't be comfy for you because it would be way too tight for everything you need to do!

Can we all agree that that frog was chilling like he was just on that little boat like there is no worries in the world❤

[@dracodracarys2339]

one time there was a tiktok vid with climbing perch and they kept them in a tank with no water except for a small dish. looked more like a reptile terrarrium and the fish were all just flopping around and crowding around the tiny water dish trying to breathe

[@YTMythicsnek]

For the baby hamster one, 💢THE TANK IS A PLASTIC BOX💢

[@bombdotcom2168]

I went to the pet store today and entirely forgot how many shitty products are sold at places like that- They've stopped selling those crappy hamster cages at least at the store near me, but they still sell hamster balls and the conditions for the fish and birds that aren't budgies are just so sad to see-

[@ButterFromDiscord]

What size are the cages they sell for hamsters now?

[@bombdotcom2168]

@@ButterFromDiscord I didn't pay too close attention, I just noticed they didn't have those pink and blue ones that come with the plastic tubes and the ones I saw were much bigger than the basic plastic 'kids' ones.

[@cannot_person7859]

when i was younger i had a couple bettas, and im really sad to admit that we didnt really take good care of them. the typical mall tank, no filter, just pebbles and fake plants, all that. since then i've learned more about properly keeping animals, and it just makes me feel sad and guilty that theres still so many fish owners like that out there

I had a parrotlet named Daniel because I had a cat and he loved perching right on her head. Never was out of his cage without me in the room, cage was where Miriam couldn't get to him, but every time he was out he sat on her and she just layed there doing nothing.

[@FatimahMraiheen]

the only way a cat n hamster would be friends is if you raised them from birth together, and even then when the kitten is older, its instincts would get stronger when it reaches adulthood (a year old or so) that it would priobably still attack the hamster at that point

[@BearHugger-GachaYT]

6:00. I accidentally dropped my gerbil once from a very small height but it scared the living shit out of me, we made sure she was fine and it did seem like it. She luckily made it to three years of age

[@izoraiza7169]

A 1.5 gallon tank is too small for a living fish but you could put a robotic toy fish in it for a kid's room as long as they learn how to properly clean the tank and take out the robotic toy fish when they aren't in use....

[@JeniJade]

The one where the hamster was knocked into the floor by the cat was despicable. My old hamster was the exact same size and colour of that one. And to see that, how can they let that happen. How dare they let that happen. Disgusting human being.

My betta fish lives in a 20 gallon planted tank with a mystery snail. People always comment on the tank saying that its so much space for just one fish. I'm like, yeah, my boy lives like a king and I wouldn't have it any other way.

[@SapphieeGamezzz]

This is just heartbreaking… I came across the live before and three of the baby hamsters died. From head trauma. All the guy did was put them Into a trash bag and set them aside and proceeded to watch the older hamsters fling the baby’s around on the wheel..

[@constar7194]

I know multiple ppl who have had fish in child hood and their parents put them in a vase, one of them bought a new beta every week

11:45 i actually cried to this tiktok. i have had hamster's in the past and seeing someone harming baby hamsters on purpose feels absolutely disgusting! not only is this tiktoker purposely harming baby hamster's and adult ones to. their laughing at them like its a fun game! im very certain that the hamsters being flung to the floor that hard might have for one broken some bones, brain damage, death might even be possibility for some of them and even more. and seeing how young their are some of them might have died a slow and painfull death. i feel so bad for the hamsters and i hope the people who posted that on their tiktok gets taken done and banned forever!!

Over where I live the nearest pet shop is ages away and if you haven't had a cycled tank for over 1/2 weeks they won't sell you a fish which I find quite nice that they care about the fishes well being and wants them to have a long healthy life❤️ anyway I love the vids❤️

[@hailyjohnson407]

I found an insta account with a dog and a rabbit, but it's surprisingly really good from what I've seen. The dog has never shown any body language or behavior to show that he wants to harm the rabbit. I believe she said she doesn't leave them alone unsupervised, but the dog and rabbit cuddle and it's kinds cute, but they've clearly been properly introduced and the dog doesn't perceive the bunny as prey. I can't remember the exact name, but it's some combo of the pets' names, which are Bear (dog) and Mighty Smols (bunny). Idk if what they're doing is ok or not but it doesn't seem like it's harmful to either as long as the dog doesn't one day see the bunny as prey

Me and my mom bought a ball python impulsively. Luckily, we had a really large tank that a friend of her’s wanted to sell because it was empty. It had old, completely dry pinewood in the background. We got a uv light, a basking light, MULTIPLE hides and water bowls (for additional use) etc etc. He has yet to eat, but he’s at least confident. He’s climbed up the branches three times so far. He’s a very confident little boy. His shed was a beautiful “full” piece (it tore when we took it out) Sorry for rambling, I just love him so much
