I had no idea there were so many fish-owners . . . almost as many as cat- and dog-owners combined, if my math is right.
December 18, 2012 at 1:52 pm
Yeah the fish part jumped out at me too. So punny.

I’m just happy to see fishkeepers listed among pet owners. Historically, fishkeeping has tended to be classed as a hobby, and fish as ‘living jewels’ or the like. The latter really grates my cheese.
I *was* surprised at the numbers for pet reptiles.

The fish didn’t surprise me so much – you can fit a lot of fish in a tank! The first year cost of a rabbit surprised the heck out of me! Also cats at little, but then I never buy cats – they just show up and move in.

Yeah anybody who has one fish is probably going to have 10.
I couldn’t even tell what a few of those icons represented.
Depends on vet costs and how much you “indulge” your pets (I don’t), but about $80 per month per dog is what it works out to for me.

I’m still looking for a vet to neuter my fish… :)

Now we know why there are so many fish in the graphic – because YOU have failed to neuter yours.

All of it surprises me… even the comments
