Looks better swimming in a monster tank in my opinion

+1 I agree. I would definitely prefer to have it in my tank then on my plate.

I eat tilapia but I have never kept tilapia. I'm sure if I ever keep it I would no longer be able to eat it.

I have eaten plenty of my fish, if injured, or some thing untreatable like a nasty eye or swim bladder infection, in the pot they go.
And I have have spent time in Central America where cichlids like Parachromis and Vieja are considered an every day part of dining. And of course Tilapia, that are African cichlids

IMO it might not be healthy to eat a sick fish. It's wrong to eat a fish that I once kept as a pet. That's like eating the dog once it dies. Once again IMO

I've kept Pangasius bocourti. I have ate this fish sold in supermarkets sold as "Basa" or "Swai".

I drank a betta for a bet, then i remembered i hadnt changed the water in a while. Made me feel queezy. I wouldnt reccomend eating fish from aquariums just because the chemical factor. Especially if the fish died and you were dosing medications. Also think of it this way, youre eating a fish that died in your aquarium, would you eat a dead chicken you found? Also Certain fish in the trade can be deadly if not prepared correctly such as puffers with toxic skin or morray eels with club venom in thier skin. id advise against it
