Feeder Goldfish Nutrition

Ummmmm........the discussion was about feeder NUTRITION...thus the junk food comment. :rolleyes:

If you want to add diseases/viruses into the equation....that's a different story. Then we can talk about eating at a dinner buffet after Jr. just picked his nose (while sick with the flu) and rubbed it all over the utensils YOU use to gorge yourself at public restaurants. Is the buffet good for you? No. Can you catch diseases in public? Yes.. Why do you expose yourself to these horrors? Because you enjoy it maybe......? I guess we should just all stay at home though. :rolleyes:

Now back to the topic......goldfish are not nutritious. The original poster was asking for information that he could show the manager of his store to help "clear his record". Bryson COULD truthfully tell his customers that the fish have no NUTRITION, and they are essentially "junk food for fish" (enjoyable, but not healthy, sound familiar?) without angering Petsmart. On the other hand......if he were to go around openly telling the customers they should not buy feeders because they are all infected with deadly diseases because Petsmart doesn't properly care for them........I don't think Petsmart would keep him around.

Ok but fish dont opperate like humans. They may enjoy the thrill of chasing the fish, but taste? Thats not as important to them. Goldfish are horribly unhealthy---at best...and at worse, they are potentially diseased. I'm not trying to change anyones mind, only listing the facts. I'm sorry if you don't like hearing this, as I know I wouldn't either if I was the one who fed my fish other fish.

No reason to be sorry..... I've heard and SAID it 1000 times myself. The facts aren't new to me. I just find it humorous to read the number of times people get in discussions/arguements over the the health of their fish........and then go stuff themselves with junk food. People take better care of their pets than themselves. That's all. I am sorry if you don't like hearing this..... :D :p
 
I have to say as a newcomer to this site, that I find the views expressed here.....ermmmmmm refreshing.
Altho I would never use feeder fish, I accept many people do, but I do think its good that they are informed before making this choice.
