I obviosly love fish and so does my husband, but he likes fish in another way. So don't think I'm a bad person or anything please cause i really like this site and i don't want to cut off, but i'm looking for a fish that i can get as a baby and grow him up nice and ig so my husband can eat it. Ever since i started my fish tank he's been wanting to eat my fish. So, I was going to start him one. Anybody got any ideas on what I should get? :drool:
 
A Mbu Puffer, just kidding. I'd say eating fish raised in a closed system isn't ideal. From all accounts the fish taste like crap. And please don't try to eat a Mbu Puffer. They're poisonous.
 
I'd say channel catfish would be perfect for this. They grow quickly and they are excellent eating. I imagine one raised in a tank would not taste much different than one raised on a farm.

Of course, they also tend to be rather personable, so whether or not you would allow him to eat it once it became large enough is another question altogether.
 
one problem he doesn't like catfish. He sais he wants to go catch a small bass or pike, But i don't think that's legal is it?
 
No, it's not really legal in most places. You could get some kind of large cichlid like tilapia, peacock bass, Midas or Red Devil or perhaps an oscar. The problem with oscars is that they only grow fast until they reach about 6-9" and then they slow down, it would be awhile till it grew to eating size.

Question. If your husband is a fisherman why can't he just catch his fish and eat them? Why can't he go to the store and buy fish? Why does he want to eat YOUR fish and why do you want to raise one to eat it?
 
Yup, midas/red devil, oscar, peacock bass, maybe a giant gourami. These have all been tested to be good eatings.
 
Pacu. Cheap, Common, Grow big fast.
