grmanrocks;611504; said:i prefer to keep ethics out of fishkeeping entirtly....because if u look at it, everything we do is unethical, putting huge fish in a glass box filled with water, no matter how good they r treated has to be no worse than feeding those fish feeder turtles. ive always been one to support a varried diet, to the extreems at times, if there were feeder rabbits my cats would be getting them, trust me. an animal is an animal, let that animal be an animal, it almost hurts when i see my bichirs and dat stoop to eating pellets. never the less its necessary to give them that form of complete nutrution.
by saying that we are monterfishkeepers i was implying that we go to exremes that the other garden variety fishkeepers woulnt consider, including feeder turtles. i think that the term "monster" also is a descripter of the fish keeper himself as well. fish first, everything else second.
i just opted to purchase a polypterus ansogrii over a car.....and will probably end up making several other life discisions around my fish. everything i do IS fish, fishing, fishleeping, plannign on gettin a nmarine biology degree. u can bet ur ass, fish r first in my life, even before myself. which brings me to my second point. i also said that i ditnt know the effects of the turtles tenedency to carry harful pathogens. so if there is enuff research done that comes to the colclusion that the turtles will have no adverse affects on the fish...(cuz why in hell would u feed nething to your fish that could be potentially harmful) then i see nuthing wrong with it.
