I voted "fish are awesome" because there better than cool, however I don't treat them like children. I noticed as well all 5 people that voted, voted "Fish are awesome" as well.
I put fish are like my children because i love my fish, i put as much effort as possible into keeping them happy and pretty much my life revolves around them. I feel outa place and uncomfortable if i don't have a fish tank to take care of. Once i went without a fish tank in my room for 2 weeks...slept horribly....fixed that prob. though! Fish are awesome beyond compare!!
I put 'my fish are like my children' because all my pets are. Maybe if I had kids it would be different but for now it's the same basic things, cleaning, feeding and maing sure they eat their greens!!
