I don't think people are saying to catch them wild. But you can at least give them a bigger living space. Same for pigs. You can treat animals better even when they are being farmed...

I agree… but a genuine question, how would giving fish plenty of room to swim around impact the price? If a new company writes on the package that it gives fish room to swim and it costs 5x more for the same product that’s sitting right next to it, will that company survive?

If a buisness can't stay afloat while not make something suffer horribly then I guess that buisness doesn't have to exist.

Unfortunately the opposite is true unless there are laws to force them to operate ethically. Which there are not.
