What is one thing that would make you interested in fishkeeping?

   I don't know if this is response bias or anything, but there were many varied responses for this question. The aesthetics of the fish was a common answer, probably the most common. This is the easiest way to get people interested in freshwater fish, as there is enormous diversity in form. To lure in these people, all I need are pretty pictures of fish in common areas. Another issue was the ease of care. A few people wanted to know how to keep their fish alive. Since a large majority of respondents mentioned their fish had died from various causes, I'll have to do something that shows people what it takes to keep fish alive. Write articles maybe? Short video clips? Also, the tone and diction will have to be simpler and more accessible. One more common response was wanting to know about the cognitive capacities of fish. Many people think fish are stupid, so if this were disproven, they'd be more inclined to keep them.

  

Would you visit a public aquarium consisting of solely freshwater aquatic life?

   As with the previous question, I'm suspecting response bias. There was a large proportion of positive responses (84%)! Do these people realize the hypothetical aquarium would be mostly fish? The negative responders didn't answer with similar responses to the other questions. An all-freshwater public aquarium would have a niche over all the other ones, and generate more revenue for a city and more awareness of freshwater fish. However, I didn't consider this idea at first, so I'll only come up with plans after I finish the film and website outline.




Is the health of freshwater diversity, native and foreign, worth donating money towards?




This question's answer distribution was very similar to the previous question. Knowing this, I now need to find ways to get donations and a place to send it to.


P.S. I came up with a name for the group: Koi Polloi.
