Pet fish welfare is often over looked but increasingly it is
becoming apparent that fish have welfare needs and are likely to suffer if
these are not met in captivity. Pet fish keeping is growing in popularity and a
recent survey suggested that one in ten people in the UK and new
figures show there are now more tropical pet fish in the UK than cats, dogs,
rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs combined. It is for this reason that good
information about responsible fish-keeping is more important than ever. The ITS
NOT JUST A FISH WEBSITE – provides good information and advice to help ensure
good standards of welfare and raise awareness of the need for a fish centred approach
when choosing to keep them as pets .
