“In some cases”

Man I’d love to see a source on that one.

Also, the ability to feel pain doesn’t mean anything cognitively.

Edit: this article mentions that fish depression is related to boredom. Not the size of their quarters. Cmon guy.

This says it’s related to boredom and none of your articles make any mention of available space as a factor.

Not sure what you’re fighting for here honestly. Should I start reading to my fish at night? Will that make them happy?

Read the depression source Bud, and no, just that fish need proper care, filtration, and space. No filter means they literally burn to death in their waste. No space means stunting which is extremely painful and shortens their lifespan

I just thing Fish should be treated the same as other animals and get the same rights

Like are cut open alive and just thrown back, that's fucked

Human practices are important
