Fish in a Bowl

I'm trying to figure out how I feel about these fish in a bowl on my kitchen counter. 

Sometimes, the first thing I see when they catch my eye, is "ugh, another chore. How did I get stuck with Another Chore! Taking care of dirty water, dirty bowl, feeding, not spilling, ugh."

Sometimes, it's "oooh! Look, something shiny!" (which is, I suspect what the dog and my kids see, too.)

And sometimes, it's just flat-out depressing to see a living thing trapped in an unnatural environment...
