ok then... a very easy one,
What am I?
I am bought by many kids, and I am very misunderstood. I can live in cold water, but need a large tank. Almost everyone that buys me gives me a very small home. I am sold in a almost every fish shop, and I come in different species. I can live for a long time if kept in the right comnditions. Part of my name is something valuable.
