A: Let's go check out the fish!
B: Wow! Those fish ____6____ in the dark! Some fish are so tiny and others are bigger than my hand!
A: These fish look beautiful, but I don't think I want to have to clean out the ____7____ every few weeks. Also, you have to buy little rocks and fake plants to put in the tank, not to mention a ____8____ and the tank itself. It can be a big ____9____.
B: There are some rabbits over there that look really cute. Guinea pigs aren't so bad either. They can come out of their cages and play or just stay inside and rest. Basically you have to feed them and refill their water ____10____, and clean out the cage once in a while. It's not too difficult.

A: Let's go visit the animal shelter!
