Fancy goldfish make an excellent indoor pet for a number of people with busy lifestyles and the craving for pets and some form of companionship but not the space in their homes or their lives to actively care for and raise pets like dogs or cats.
Goldfish have many advantages that pets that have legs don't enjoy and they are a very low maintenance but a very therapeutically beneficial pet. You never need to take a goldfish for a walk early in the morning or even when it is raining. Sometimes you are just not in the mood for a walk even if the conditions are perfect. This is not an issue with goldfish.
Most pets are hideously expensive. The cost of raising an average size dog has been estimated by some studies to run in to the tens of thousands of dollars which is a sum that few of us can really afford. In these hard economic times where everyone is trying to cut back on expenses and reduce spending around the house your dog may not be such a great pet if it is almost as expensive as bringing up a child. Dogs are expensive to buy and the costs continue throughout their lives. They need to be inoculated and fed with expensive food and later in life when they need medical care that is a very costly proposition too.
Fish are cheap and easy to buy and so easy and absolutely painless to maintain that you could even give them as a gift to someone without wondering whether they will be able to take care of them and will not they become a burden. Dogs and cats can turn quickly when white elephant as a gift, no matter how cute and adorable are given as a kitten or puppy.
Fancy Goldfish do not have such problems. Their short life means you do not care about long-term care for them. If you die, you can decide if you want to get another game and never want to stay with them. This is very important when you go on vacation or out of town on business. You do not havehave to worry friends with requests to come over and watch and feed your pets with gold fish and you do not have to worry about paying the exorbitant fees that kennels and doggy day care centres charge.
So get yourself some goldfish today. They make great pets and they are relaxing to watch.
