    As a kid I went to an aquarium, and they had goldfish, but instead of creating some micro-habitat like in all the other tanks, they had just put a bunch of mirrors in there and all smooth surfaces. A plaque explained that the gold fish as a breed/species no longer had a natural environment, so didn’t require any similarity to one either. And even as a kid I remember that striking me as just incredibly stupid.
