What Is Fishkeeping and Why Start This Hobby?
Fishkeeping is the practice of keeping fish as pets, typically in an aquarium or a fish tank, and ensuring they have a suitable environment to thrive. It can range from small, simple setups with a single fish to elaborate, large tanks filled with a diverse array of fish, plants, and other aquatic organisms.
One of the major concerns for the elderly is their mental health and wellness, including issues such as loneliness and depression. Engaging in a hobby like fishkeeping might be able to help combat these issues.
