"Fish'll eat anything once its soft enough. Mind you, if he fell into the Thames, his body'd wash up before long. The Thames always gives up its dead, the Thames does."

~David Mitchell, Black Swan Green

(Just read this quote last night and thought I'd share.)
 
It's not true, but OK.
Well, maybe the thames part is, I wouldn't know about that. But the fish thing, definitely not correct as such a broad statement.
 
Haha of course it's not true. It's a dour British businessman sitting at his dinner table in the 80s talking about bodies in a river. I wouldn't expect the guy to be much of an aquarist.

Just a fun, morbid, vaguely fishy quote.
 
I dont know i had a goby poop a rubber band and plastic plant once.
 
IDK - I think there's truth to that.. I have been adding more and more cat food in with my jumbo sticks for my cichla and they love it.. Way cheaper and easier to get.. I wouldn't recommend just any car/dog food but there are a few out there that are all natural and "sea food" mixes that consist of mostly trout, salmon and other fish that closely compares to that of the leading Hikari foods for large predator fish...

Interesting and I imagine a little messy.

Could be...yes.. I had to go through many brands and lots of research to get it just right to find the perfect one that would not spoil my water :goldfish:

And what brand is that? I've got 2 cats and I could see this making my life easier, haha.
 
I had a guppy ate a hair. She swallowed and pooped a hair at same time........
