RE: Is it unethical for vegans to have pets?
I don’t know it’s delicate.. I guess certain fish born in captivity and who maybe don’t need a lot of space would not be unhappy in a large tank, but since we can’t really know I prefer to avoid it. But I am sure that you are a very empathetic and kind person, so I trust that you know what you’re doing 😜

Sufficient size of the tank is one of the most important things every fish keeper should be aware of, absolutely. I would never put any fish into a small tank - this is what I hate so much about dolphinariums. Btw I am actually more into keeping crustaceans - crayfish and crabs - than fish ;) But like I said - even though I am quite confident I always took the best possible care of every single creature living in my tank, I am more and more questioning the moral of this hobby. I actually haven´t had a fish tank for years already as it is simply not compatible with our current nomadic lifestyle but I might well end up giving up on this hobby even once we settle down, just because of the ethical aspect of it.
