    A testament to how hardy fish are. If you have fish dying in an aquarium; you shouldn’t have pets.

      Like yes, but, the actual hard part of aquarium fish keeping isn’t really related to the fish themselves. It’s the water… nature has already prepared this biologically active, clean, ample supply of water for the air dropped trout. Replicating that in a tiny glass box without at least a surface understanding of the chemistry involved can be very difficult. But you should also learn how to supply an animal with the proper environment before you get one.
