For all my effort and research, I'm sure I've flushed more fish than the average person. I don't even want to think about what percentage of the animals I sold during my time there lived their natural lifespan. Not many, I'm sure. Sometimes I think it would be better to give up fishkeeping altogether for the sake of the individuals. But if you've got an aquarium in your house and you're passionate about it, I'd think you're more likely to contribute to conservation efforts. Sometimes I think about opening a pet store and being the soup nazi for fish and rodents. And sending every spare dime to conservation efforts for those animals in the wild. In the meantime, I'll donate what I can where I think it will do the most good. It's not much, but I hope it makes some kind of impact.
