Everyone has an opinion and is entitled to it. My opinion is that some people own animals for the wrong reasons including fish. Now I know this will stirr the pot and make me unpopular with some people but it's my opinion. Owning an animal only because it's mean or kills other animals is ignorant. I've been in the pet indusrty for over 15 years and it's sad how many stupid people I have seen buy oscars because they kill everything or pirahna because they have big teeth & bite fish in half. THis one guy use to come in about once a week to buy something mean to let it face off with his pirahna. THis dumb ass killed lots of neat fish for his entertainment. I'm sure that there's countless other examples but owning an animal just to watch it kill other animals really says somthing about that person. I own agressive fish and am impressed with how brutal thay can be at times but I am also impressed by thier personality, behavior and beauty. African cichlids are mean fish, I own them because of how beautiful some of them are and appreciate and respect others who feel the same. Why should fish be any differant than other pets? I realise that the thread was about feeders, why can't you feed them to your fish, it's your fish do what you want. But let me pose this, why do you want to? It's (or should be by now) common knowladge that feeders carry parasites and disease and are often loaded with chemicals that are harmful to the fish that eat them. Most if not all predator fish will eat prepaired food that is much more healthy than feeders and with out the disease risk. I think some people should re evaluate why they have pets in the first place....
