You can always release it back to the lake where you caught it...


Wrong. NEVER release a fish after its been in your aquarium.. It could introduce a bunch of new diseases and upset the eco system.. Its better to just kill the fish then let it live :|
 
What? Unless your tank was infected with ich, I don't see why not..
Furthermore, it came from the same lake, didn't it?

If it's a hybrid fish such as a flowerhorn then I would understand but what's wrong with releasing a native fish?
How many diseases can you get from your own tank? Even if the fish is infected, chances are we would have seen the symptoms & act accordingly..

Theres lots more diseases in a fish tank besides Ich. Even if the fish in the aquarium are not infected, the parasites/bacteria are still in the water, and when you release a fish into a lake/pond/river/stream, the parasites/bacteria are introduced into the water ways as well.

It's just bad for the environment overall. It could have caught something from the flowerhorn that the owner didn't know about.
