Here are some of the most adorable and hilarious fish that got shamed by their owners for their mischievousness.

When talking about pets, cats and dogs are always the first animals that come to our minds. But, did you know freshwater fish are also among the most popular pets in the world?

Many pet owners prefer to domesticate fish because they're fun and simple to maintain.

However, a fish can't play or walk around with you just like cats and dogs. Yet, it can help soothe your stress and tension just by watching it swim in tranquil water.

A report published on the SagePub journal states:

"Researchers have found that aquarium-watching (Aquarium Therapy) helps reduce stress and anxiety, increase feelings of relaxation, and decrease heart rate and muscle tension."

"In fact, staring at a fish tank for as little as five minutes has an almost hypnotic effect, calming us down because of our genetic predisposition to regard some natural environments as non-threatening and essential to survival."

"The study assessed the physical and mental responses of 112 random participants to a tank containing varying amounts of fish."

"The findings showed that people relaxed even when the tank was empty, with heart rates reducing by as much as 3 percent. As fish were added, the benefits increased with heart rate and blood pressure-lowering up to 7 percent and 4 percent, respectively. The more fish, the more people's moods improved too. People were happier."

Fish can also serve as fascinating home decor for the owners.

And you probably didn't know that fish can also be funny at times, just like these hilarious ones:
