I was at a pet shop with a friend the other day and I saw something very sad. There were a lot of fish there that were just in little dishes... like what potato salad comes from the store in... just about 1 cup of water. Anyway, the fish not only had no room to move about, the water was not properly aerated, they just had a hole punched in the top of their dish lid, but since they were stacked up, I can't see how the bottom fish could breathe. The water in the dish had not been cleaned for some time, and there were obviously very ill -- even dead!-- fish just lying there in dishes on the shelf underneath a big hot light.
This is all just terrible to me! I already volunteer quite a lot at the local animal shelter, but I don't know what to do... they don't take fish, and I haven't the money or resources to care for them. What can I do to help the poor little fish?
