French pet care market leader AgroBiothers Laboratoire will no longer sell any aquariums with a capacity of less than 15 liters and only rectangular ones, as putting fish in small bowls without filtration and oxygenation is animal abuse, it said.
Gold fish can live up to 30 years and grow to about 25 cm in big aquariums or outdoor ponds, but in tiny bowls they often die within weeks or months. France is Europe’s number one market for red aquarium fish, with about 2.3 million fish, Lambeaux said. “It is a French anachronism, that is why we decided to move. We cannot educate all our customers to explain that keeping fish in a bowl is cruel. We consider that it is our responsibility to no longer give consumers that choice,” Lambeaux said.
