FYI, to the OP: I voted "no" because the ONLY reason you gave for getting a fish was that you "want one"- nothing to convince me that you'll be a good pet owner for a fish, nor any other pet experience you've had- just nothing to go on. I care about every kind of pet there is- they deserve good care from us because we're holding them captive, so without more to go on, I voted "no".
