Feeding Feeders

[I<3fish]

i do not see a reason why I need to . There is nothing said here that is untrue. And if that hurts or seems argumentative then there might be a reason why it feels like that.

Pellets aren't made from the trash parts of fish. They are ground up fillets (if hikari), they have nutritional vitamins added to them. Feeders are fish (they have the trash parts, ie the: intestines, crap, fat, bones, etc) and have no nutrition unless gut loaded for a fee weeks and are not goldfish.

Dogs were line bred from wolves 1000's of years ago and you don't see dogs naturally in the wild. They were natural at one point in time, but not now.

There was a dirty job episode about this hikari use fish meal which the byproduct of fish packaging plant. This is usually the carcass(head bones of various fish) after rendering they have a deboner and then ship it out. omega one says they use salmon fillets but my bet it is chum salmon which is used for dog food in Alaska.
Also just noticed the organs are actually better and more nutrient rich than the fillets of the fish.

You must live in the city I guess. There are wild dogs. And like you stated dogs are all hybrids from wolves. There are still wolves right? what about coyotes? -------wild K9's--------and fish that are breed in captivity do not excite me at all. If you can get them at walmart why bother. So if you find a payara or falcatus species at wally world in with the cichlids for 2 bucks let me know.

There aren't wild "dogs." Domesticated dogs have never occurred naturally.

What about peacock bass? What about arowanas? What about thousands of other fish that breed in captivity? I guess those must not excite you either.

theres also no domesticated wild anything. If it is domesticated they are not wild. There are probably some nondomesticated animals that were related to the animals but there are no natural domestications.

Interestingly enough, it only takes one generation for domesticated pigs to revert into wild boars.

As for the topic, I voted that I hate using feeders, but I admit that sometimes there is no way to avoid it.

As for captive vs. wild caught, It should be the goal of this hobby that everything be captive-bred eventually, the challenge is in finding out how. The less fish that come from the wild, the better for the environment and the fish stocks, unless the fish can be gathered in a sustainable manner that helps alleviate local poverty (cardinal tetras, most danios, etc.).
