Like many people do my parents have pets. Dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, and even a few fish have been family members over the years. The fish that grace their small tank are the pets that best mimic my parents.
My Mom "rescues" a couple of feeder goldfish every now and then and they become pets. Having 2 fish in the little tank keeps them the happiest. They have a friend and someone to pick on when they get bored, but there is room for them to be by themselves if they need to be. The fish fight over food, but are graciously over fed by my mother who can't stand to see anyone go hungry. Not even a gold fish, so they really have a rough life. Swimming back and forth these little fish don't have a complicated life, but they are happy together.
My parents spend as much time together as possible swimming back and forth in their little house and don't have an over complicated life. They don't have to have a huge tank or even the whole ocean, they are just happy to be together everyday.
