A little of both.Some of my fish are pets,the rest are more of a hobby.
And on days when I do waterchanges in the fishroom,4 hoses draining tanks,1 hose refilling and another pumping water out the basement window,its a little like a sport:nilly:
 
Most here, 85% here consider it a hobby, look at the buy sell threads, who sells there pet after 2 months?
 
fish keeping is both a pet and hobby thing. i just don't think fish are as attachable to humnas as dogs and cats are. most cold-blooded creatures are like that. mammals tend to be treated more like pets because they respond to our affections.
 
Id say more of a hobby. Like a few other people said, I consider my dog a pet. My dog doesnt take up as much time to care for as my fish, and doesnt cost a fraction to take care of as it does for my fish. A lot more effort goes into fish.
