I have noticed that keeping cat and dog helps with the mental health. And it may also be good for mental health. As they continue to be around you as a kids. And that helps with overall mental health. I have realized that having the pets around can be a good thing. I think I have not observed the same with the aquarium there.

What's your experience with the mental health while keeping pets?
