oh yeah, i remember this vid. the pbass keepers during this time didn't really find it too amusing?!! :uhoh:

I don't keep pbass, but I do have lmb, I think it is just a waste of a good fish, why not just get feeders. I have seen the same thing with people feeding pbass African cichlids, I just don't see the point.

Because feeding a pbass is just like feeding goldfish (probably better nutrition actually). Its only peoples opinions of goldfish being 'feeders by nature' that when they feed other more, valuable fish, they don't get it. The only difference I see is the cost of the fish, which I don't think the wolffish cares about :P.
 
TY, Glacier. :) I feel the same way. Some people may think it's a waste of money, but if I were to feed live fish, I'd rather spend a little bit more to feed something more healthier.

Goldfish feeders, which are coldwater usually are kept in LFS in bumper-to-bumper overstocked holding tanks with only a airstone and no heater. They have more chances and possibilities of carrying diseases and parasites, and then to feed it. To me, it would be a waste to lose a prize fish over a $0.25 LRG. feeder! :(
 
I was talking more in terms of fish keeping than feeder wise. No reason to feed it a pbass. Unless you kept one yourself you'll never know its like. They got the best personalities of any fish.

And I think theres way better alternatives to feeding live. I'm pretty sure that wolf would eat anything. Even peelets if trained correctly.
 
Oh, I don't like feeding live fish either (which is why I don't), but I don't see why people get annoyed when they feed a 'monster fish' eg. pbass, snakehead etc. when they have no qualms about feeding goldfish.
