Many American households own an aquarium. They are beautiful, fun to watch and exotic in that most aquarium fish are originally from other countries. Unfortunately, sometimes a person’s circumstances change and he or she can no longer keep an aquarium. Sometimes a particular fish, that has grown too large or becomes too aggressive, must be given up. These can be difficult decisions and people want the best for their pets. How they define what is best varies. For some people, it means giving the fish to friends. For other people, it means releasing it to the wild. Researchers are interested in understanding how people make this difficult decision and what impact it might have on fish conservation in Texas and elsewhere. You can help by taking this survey and giving us your views about fish and aquarium keeping. Check back in a couple of months to find out the results of the study.
