It is not "progress" to let fish swim aimlessly, without territories or anything in their lives to investigate of feel safe to retreat into.

No don't get me wrong phillydog, I am all for scientific experimentation and development of all the sciences. But where my problem lies is, if I may quote you, "but he might be using some crude form of science". Why use a "crude" form of science when there is already in depth studies, research and data to back up a meaningless self indulgent game of "trial and error" when the error has already been proven by experts?

Humane experiments for scientific advance-YES
Meaningless, unnecessary cruelity at another living thing's expensive-I say NAY.

Thanks. I appreciate your well-thought-out and very reasonable comments. you make sense, where as most of the critics of the OP are just being emotional.
 
Thanks phillydog, appreciate your comments. I also don't like it when people just flame and don't give reasons as some people may not always be aware of the harm they are causing.
 
I gave reasons. Fish are living beings, not just a collection of bodies crammed in a tank.
 
Man!!!!! I just traded my Bumble Bee Grouper in I should have converted him to fresh!!! :D I dont see nothing wrong with it It is funny however to see how emotional people get over someone elses fish. If I can buy fish for me to eat and buy feeders for my fish to eat why would I feel sorry for fish this guy put in freshwater it is a natural thing that happens in the wild he just did it in the aquarium I think its cool. I wanna try it

Pufferpunk, my comments were not directed at you but merely a generalization on flaming.

":DI dont see nothing wrong with it". This statement alone speaks for itself. When you buy feeders for your fish or fish for yourself, they die quickly. Your feeders do not swim around for days or weeks slowly weakening due to harmful environmental issues only to die of something like kidney failure.

Yes, even though it is true that these fish are sporadically found in freshwater, they are brackish fish at best. There is a reason for that. These fish need the salt in the water for osmoregulation to occur and this is why they ALWAYS return to brackish and saltwater.

Your claim to find funny "how emotional people get" again portrays your lack of compassion and understanding of the stress these animals are under. Would you keep a dog in a smoke filled room with cola to drink?
