Did you know these fin-tastic facts about pet fish?

Social Swimmers:

Many fish, like tetras and minnows, are schooling fish! They prefer to live in groups of six or more to feel safe and happy [1].

Fishy Memory:

Contrary to popular belief, fish have impressive memories and can remember things for months, not just seconds! [1]

Scaly Sleep:

Fish don’t close their eyes (they don’t have eyelids), but they do rest and sleep [1]. They hover in place or find a safe spot, conserving energy.

Growing Giants:

A common mistake is thinking fish only grow to the size of their tank. This is not true! Fish growth can be stunted by poor conditions, but a proper, large environment is vital for healthy growth [1].
