do fish feel pain ????

I know where you're going with that. And well it's arguable.

I would think they have some form of pain since they have hunger to eat, instinct to hide when getting beat up by larger fish. But again arguable. :)

And I think that's why you differ from so many here. Some people see a fish as ornamental/possible dinner and others see it as a pet with the same rights and should receive the same treatment as a cat/dog/rabbit/etc.
no I see it as a pet... just not in the same class as a dog or cat
 
I feel making a show out of it is not right, But i take pride in giving my fish an environment as close to real as possiable. If this means they eat fish in the wild i feed them fish. I wouldn't feed them an aro because i like them personally, but they are still fish and are probably eaten by phrianna in the wild. Nature rules everything
 
It doesn't matter what fish it is. It's just that feeding fish should be quick, not prolonged deaths, like when they fed the arowana to the piranhas.
 
I definitely don't agree, feeder fish allow recreation of natural actions etc, to put fish in there purely for your enjoyment is, imo, sick. Sorry just how i feel.
