Nuchal hump fun!

usually not a good idea to mess with the slime coat of a fish.


while it may not be considered cruel ..it may not be considered wise.

it is possible for the food to say there..deteriorate and become an irritation if not an infection.
 
I think its pretty funny, not cruel really in any sense. It eventually falls off right?

no it stays there FOREVER.

what's the point?

can i tie up your arms, stick something to your forehead and laugh at your inability to remove it?

yes.

it falls off within 10 seconds, if it were to stay there I'd remove it.
 
you people need to lighten up. Get off your pedestals and stop preaching to everyone who doesn't sing to, read to, pet and coddle their fish.
 
:iagree:

Would you hold a dog underwater and attach clothes pins to it only to laugh while it coughs up water and yips in pain when you are done? The only difference is the dogs ability to voice it's oppinion.

hardly...
you really cant relate the 2 instances. it is probably pretty funny and not really cruel to watch a fish trying to eat something it cant reach for a few seconds until it does get it, but bringing an animal close to its death is completely different. but I do agree its probably not a great idea to mess with a fish's skin coat
