i have to give a persuasive speech for my speech class and i want to do it with something related to fish keeping.

anyone have any kind of ideas for this situation?
any help is appreciated thanks.
 
Well depending on your feelings maybe on POS signs in fish stores. Or getting the Asian arowana species into the US.
 
The possibility of opening them to the US market due to them being bred captively.
 
well you could do somethiing on animal abuse. bears in tiny cages is an outrage, dogs tied up in small rooms is considered cruel, chicken farms put 5 hens together in tiny cages to lay eggs and people now opt to buy 'free range' eggs as it is more humane. by these standards an arapiama or other huge fish kept in tiny tanks (relative to their size) should also be considered cruelty to animals shouldn't it.

not only that, fish have to be some of the most abused animals on the planet, take the common goldfish for instance, ket in a tiny bowl, hardly ever cleaned-cleaned when the water is so foul it stinks or the fish can no longer be seen. does this not mean cruelty to animals as it comes down to not giving the proper care that an animal requires.
 
How bout dooing it on the conservation needed do to over-harvesting of certain fish due to high demand.
