Pet store conspiracy

For those who have a fish aquarium at home here is a tip that will save you money. I know it's only a couple of bucks every few weeks when you go buy some more fish to replace the ones that have died but I've recently learned a trick that will make them live a lot longer. The pet stores don't want you to know this because they make a lot of money selling cheep things over and over. It's called planned obsolesence. Most companies don't make products as well as they could because once the market is saturated with a good product there is no need to replace it and the company goes out of business. The trick to making your car last longer is to change the oil every 6 months or more often. The trick to making your store bought fish may seem wasteful at first because you throw away the mini habitat. That's right. You open the bag and put the fish in a bowl or tank of water. They live a lot longer when they are allowed to swim freely and the air can circulate above the water. I know the fish stores are conspiring to shorten the life of fish by putting them in small bags of water. They all do it. And when you confront them about it they laugh at you like you are crazy. But really if you try it you will see. The fish won't die if you let them out of the bag into a bigger place. Try it. Have you not seen the aquariums at the fish store? Notice how the fish are already not in bags? That just goes to prove that they know the secret to making fish live for months and even years. But when you go to buy a fish you will notice they always pack it in a small clear plastic bag. But now that you know the secret you won't have to buy so many fish and that saves money.
