A pet is a big responsibility.

If you want to keep one, you’d better be prepared to feed it, clean it, love it, and be patient with it when it inevitably poops somewhere it wasn’t supposed to.

If you live alone, laziness in this respect simply isn’t an option.

But lazy bums who live with their loved ones or friends sometimes take advantage of them by leaving these responsibilities to them.

Well, if you’ve been doing just that, I’m here to convey a warning: clean up your act.

Otherwise, you could end up with a fried pet on your dinner plate.

Wife Cooked Husband’s Pet Arowana ‘Coz He Broke His Promise of Cleaning the Aquarium

Fortunately, the pet in this story wasn’t a dog, but a fish.

It seems that a woman in Indonesia resorted to some rather drastic measures after her husband failed to keep his promise of cleaning their acquarium.

In this instance, most of us would say something like “hey, could you clean the aquarium right now? You promised me…”.

But the woman did something a little different: she fried the fish.

She even uploaded a video of the cooking process on TikTok, showing how she cleaned, scaled, and seasoned the fish before deep-frying it.

“My husband kept promising to clean the aquarium after I told him to. I thought it would be delicious if I fried it,” she said in the video.

“Already cooked and ready to eat.”

Netizens were shocked by her actions, but the woman said in a subsequent post that her husband has since forgiven her for killing his pet fish, and is looking for another arowana.

A Status Symbol in Asia

It turns out that the arowana isn’t your regular old pet fish.

Also referred to as dragon fish, the Asian arowana is a status symbol among wealthy Asian men. In 2009, one albino arowana sold for a record price of $300,000.

Some varieties are also known for their brilliant metallic lateral scales.

Killing it may not have been the best thing to do, as the Asian arowana is an endangered species and even banned in the United States.

The Asian arowana is sold here in Singapore, but if you’re hoping to get one, you’ll need a licence from the NParks to import it into the country.

Even with the licence, you can only bring in one fish per person as a personal pet.

And if you do manage to bring one in, remember to clean its tank.
