I am amazed by the number of people who suggest getting fish when someone is looking for an easy, low-cost pet. Of course, it is possible to save a fair amount of money when setting up an aquarium, and it is certainly much easier to keep animals that don't need to be walked and won't make a mess of your home. However, setting up an aquarium requires a lot of research and the purchase of test kits (which aren't cheap in my country); the nitrogen cycle takes a few weeks, so if a person isn't aware of this, they are better off not getting an aquarium—after all, we are talking about animals that require a good quality of life, just like any other.

Eu saio perguntando pra todo mundo da minha casa e ninguém tem certeza se é verde ou amarelo haha

(Teste de amônia no caso)

Alguns anos atrás uma aluna gostava muito de conversar comigo, certo dia ela chegou com uma pedra e ela ficou repetindo o tempo inteiro que essa pedra era bonita e então ela simplesmente me deu a pedra de presente. Eu sou muito lerda, então minha primeira reação foi dizer "mas você disse o tempo todo que essa pedra era bonita". No final das contas eu acabei aceitando e tenho essa pedra guardada até hoje.

I think dogs are beautiful, amazing animals, and it was my childhood dream to have one; but when I looked into the cost and daily care involved, I realized it’s not for me—I might never get one, or it could be many years before I do.
