Vaipulu, I just came across this thread. Remind me to NEVER sell you one of my fish to "go in your aquarium". 
Hilarious! My father in law used to tell me that my fish were getting to eating size lol
I had a channel cat that ate a porcelain frog ornament and died. he was about 16" long. This happened while I was away but my friend called me and asked if he could eat him. I told him yes and he said it was the best catfish he ever ate. I think it was because it came from clean water instead of a muddy lake. Cant say if he got sick because of it though - he was quite the drunkard and was sick more mornings than a pregnant lady.
As fot the person who said you should nt eat alot of fish - it depends on what fish and where its from. In the California fish and game book there is a warning about lead and PCBs in certain fish, mostly ocean fish i think. Its all a by product of our polluting and the cehmicals building up in fat and organs. I dont think most people eat enough for it to matter.
If I were to eat my fish I think they would have to be deliberately raised for the purpose and i would be very carefull about meds and chemicals.
I do use gromax pellets which is designed for commercial fish farms and includes "growth and appetite enhancing hormones" so I dont think ill eat very much store bought fish either.

Since I am in a university setting I have many international students who come to my place. On more than one occasion I have been told IN MY COUNTRY WE EAT THOSE FISH.
I personally could not eat any of my wet pets for 2 reasons. 1- I am allergic to fish. 2- It just does not sit well in my thoughts to eat a fish that has been brought up in such a closed system. A system that, though has frequent water changes, is still a very small closed system.
edit I seem to see a running theme of drunk people mowing down on pets, please tell me your dog has not gone missing and you can't remember last time you saw it

First of all... I love fish, they're delicious... second. I ate the natives in my tank, so really most people eat them anyways, I just made sure they ate like kings before I mowed them over.... When I bought my female festae, I swore that if she was DOA I would BBQ her.... Off topic.... anyone got any fish free to good home? IM STARVING I still want to eat an oscar....
Im actually trying to rehome some goldfish before I move. 6-9 inches long. According to the commercials "theyre soo delicious!"
