is it wrong to feed fish live food

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Wrong....no. Uneccessary.......depends, but most fish can be trained, so, mostly. Nothing wrong per se, it's just that a pellet trained fish is much less open to disease or foreign pathogens.

Growing/culturing your own is the safest way if you go that route.
 
Think of it this way. If you kept a large mouth bass or peacock bass because it was your dream. What do these fish eat in the wild? Fish.

If you're a flippin millionaire and you want a tiger. What do they eat? Would you feed it vegetables because you're a vegan and you want it to have a well rounded diet or make it a vegan too?

not really the same, in the wild fish can escape into weed or something away from predators . feeders in captivity dont have that luxury .

Feeding live fish and feeding a pellet instead has little to do with being a vegan though lol. Most pellets are made mostly of fish.....someone else does you the favor of killing it instead of it happening in your aquarium.
