BAD ASS DEVILS

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Well, other cichlids are catching on as human food. Capt'n Highliner how has their own Tilapia filets out.

I've tried them. They were good. I'll probably just stick to that though, less chance of developing cancer of the butt eating them. mmm...CLOUT




It is funny how much attention this has gotten. Dude, theres probably only one other incident that has ticked off more cichlid keepers than you eating your fish, and that's whomever is responsible for introducing Nile Perch to Lake Victoria :) I never could have done that to my midas, but I've grown him since he was nothing but eyes and tail, so it's quite different from just having picked them up at the pet store full grown.

We've got a fella that eats aquarium fish on a regular basis up here. He often comes in and purchases huge Pacu's that have been brought back to the lfs. I don't think they let him anymore cause I don't see him around now, or maybe he just ingested too many fish meds.
 
If anyone is interested, the species used is in fact Tilapia niloticus...or some sort of hybrid variant from a fish farm.

Yes I contacted the captain himself to find out. Yes I am that much of a bloody fish nerd. A little bit of advice, add an extra five minutes or so to the cooking time suggested by the captain, I found that it wasn't quite done after 18 minutes at X degrees, or what ever it was.

Anyway, I'm just joking around here, I'm sure the monster fish eater knows I'm not trying to rip on him bad or anything.
