I dont know anyone who has bought an arrowana or pacu.

You still claimed that you dont like the keeping of some fish in tanks. Now your changing it to "i dont like the keeping of some fish in small tanks" Thats not even close to what PETA was saying. You and I both know it.

BTW you have proven yourself quite closed-minded yourself, only seriously considering the viewpoint of someone who shares the same opinion as you.

How so? My original viewpoint was that fish feel pain, after reading quite a few articles on it and becoming educated on the topic, I have changed my view.

You must be confused. I never changed my viewpoint. What I said in a nutshell was, some people (especially those who don't properly care for their fish) have no business owning fish. And some fish (especially those 2 feet and longer) have no business being in the typical fish keeper's tank.

And I stand by this.

IMO, many people have no business owning fish, especially those who pack as many fish in a tank as they can before they start dying off, those who have minimal filtration (if any), and those who don't care enough to check out the requirements of fish before they buy them.

Yea, you just changed your argument from "fish bigger than 2 feet shouldnt be kept in tanks" to "fish bigger than 2 feet should only be kept in big tanks"


its this point in this debate that most people tend to tune out... Now were off topic and arguing about things that dont matter.
