Fish people get a lot of jokes from non-fish people. 'It's just a fish.' 'It doesn't even know you're there.' These people have never watched a betta swim toward the glass when they walk into the room, or spent forty-five minutes optimizing the placement of a piece of driftwood. Fish ownership, at a certain level, is its own obsession — the water chemistry, the planted tank aesthetics, the specific temperature that keeps everyone happy. The gifts that land for serious fish people are the ones that fit inside this obsession without being condescending about it. Nobody wants a mug that says 'fish dad.' They want the water testing kit that's actually good.
