And, did it make you feel the need to be violent? This is the situation. Someone comes into your home and either they ask to see your giant fish, or you just take the initiative and show them the pond, or tank, or whatever. And, after oohing and aahing for a while, they say, "Are you rasin' him for eatin'?" Or some such thing. Well, hell no. I am not raising my RTC to eat him. With the money we've spent to keep him, he would cost at least a couple of hundred dollars a pound. In any case, would you walk into someone's house, see their Chihuhua lying on the couch, and say, "Are you raisin' him for eatin'?" No. Because dogs are, in this country at least, strictly pets. My fish is a pet. He is obviously well-loved and cared for, or else you wouldn't be looking at a 1000-gallon pond in my bedroom. Why in the world would that joke be funny? And, do you honestly think I haven't heard it before? Just had to get this out of my system in a calm, collected manner, lest the next inquiry be silenced by me slamming my skimmer net over someone's head. Thanks, MFK.
 
i would kick them out and slap them. then they would say "why" and i would say back "YOU KNOW WHY!"
 
LOL not sure how much you've spent on your fish, but if you've spent anywhere near as much as I have, you would get sick of it too. I really care about my fish. I take it as personally as if someone were trying to eat one of my cats, or my dog. I love Guido, and have sacrificed to keep him. You may be coming from a different place in life. My question was, "Has anyone had this happen?" Obviously, either you haven't, or you don't have a gigantic pond that was built for the specific purpose of keeping a giant fish. Or, maybe you're just not that serious about your pets. Thanks for insulting me.

LOL Yes! What I was looking for! MFK'er unite! Our pet fish are friends, not food!
 
Haha no. We're moving upstairs as soon as the central heat and air is installed. Even with a dehumidifier, can you say HUMID?
