Fishy Fishy Fishy

I really want a fishy at the office. I've read loads recently that say a pet in the workplace is good for morale.
Anybody got any ideas of how I can persuade my boss to buy one?

Try and find out if your boss is into Feng shui? (positive effects on workers, reducing stress levels etc, etc) and he might take the bait?

Fish are low maintenance, but not zero maintenance. You will still need to feed it, clean out the bowl on a regular basis and make sure someone else will do these tasks when you are on holiday or off sick.
You can get realistic battery operated ones?

I think it's a great idea - Your boss might be worried about any water going on electric equipment, so have a place in mind that you could put them without any 'risk'
Oooh, I've just googled Paradise fish - lovely. If you can only have a cold water tank in the office, I'd definately recommend 'weather loaches' as they can live quite happily in cold water alongside goldfish and they are quite amusing to watch
Good Luck with getting a 'fishy' tank sorted for the office :-)

some years ago, our premises was advised of a water mains "outage" over one weekend, and the workshop staff were advised to make provision; which they did, but the only water container they could find that was (considered) big enough was an old-fashioned sweetie jar.
in the end the water was off for so short a period that they didn't need the water from the jar. so there sate a sweetie jar full of water.
on day 4, a fish appeared in it. nobody ever owned up, but the workshop office then had a pet, which lived for a good 10 years.

goldfish really need plenty of room as they are meant to grow quite big. A traditional fish-bowl is totally unsuitable as housing. Even a bucket is better.
You might want to consider 8 or 10 White cloud mountain minnows which will be happy in a fairly small aquarium with some plants - no heater needed in an office. White clouds are cheap, only grow to 4cm and are always on the move. The males frequently show off to each other, showing off the red fins and white edges to their 'target', making for interesting viewing.
