Pacu Problems

Good point Slip. Although, I must say that I could never eat a fish that I've raised and grown to love....And from what I've heard, your not supposed to eat Aquarium fish cause of the chemicals we use in our tanks!(besides the whole BELOVED PET thing!) :)


I wonder if they do anything to affect the fishes meat? JungleLabs Insto-Chlor says:'For use on Aquarium fish only. Not for use on food fish.'Hmmm....This is making me curious!
 
The fish we keep in our aquariums are our PETS. So we have an emotional bond to them. If you raise animal as a FOOD SOURCE, then there is no emotional bond.

People eat dogs as a FOOD SOURCE.
So are you going to call the kids and say:

You: Time for dinner kids!
kids: Whats for dinner?
You: Our Dog!

We have a stronger bond to dogs as pets then as Fish as pets. Why? I dont know. But its the same deal. Fish are our Pets and dont deserve to be eaten!
 
so basically you shouldnt eat something your attached too...

well duh :D


plus its illegal to eat dogs or cats in the US :rolleyes: no law against eating fish.
 
And that in itself is Racism or some "ISM" Why is it ILLEGAL to eat pet dogs and not illegal to eat pet fish? Fish feel pain like dogs...
 
You know... if I wasn't such a clean, wholesome person on message boards, I could have some real fun with some of the statements made in this thread.

Ah, what a waste, eh? :)
 
I've driven a few miles to rescue these guys, so I don't have to grow them out before putting them in with my RTC. I wish I could help, but the drive would make that one expensive fish.
good luck

Welcome to the forum.:) It's always a good idea to start a new thread instead of posting a new question in an old one. As for an answer to your question, I'm sure someone will be able to help you if you start a new thread. :cool2:
 
moral issues aside, I would not eat aquarium fish simply because some medications that are used on fish and even some chemicals used in fish food may be bad for you.

fish are interesting, pretty to look at, and probably delicious, but we must remember not to eat our pets.
