What I've noticed from several US films and what US citizens post on social media is you people seem to be really bad at aquatics.

I either see goldfish in small round glass vases with nothing in them except plastic toys. The same sparse aquarium landscapes without any appropriate botany can also be found in larger sizes.

Or aquariums with poor, unsuitable planting. Or aquariums with all sorts of mismatched underwater inhabitants, such as ornamental fish, eels, water turtles, and piranhas thrown in (ok, I'm exaggerating a bit here.).

Or if they contain real soil and plants, the water is always so dirty that you can hardly see the fish.

Seriously folks, you have to give these creatures their rights if you want to keep them. Educate yourselves better about their environmental conditions and ecosystems, invest the energy accordingly (aquatics is really not that simple), or just leave it altogether.
