make her watch the lion king so she will understand the circle of life!!! lol

LOL i would but I can't watch mufasa die...
 
Would she really notice if some of the guppies went missing? Sucks that see aquascaped your feeder tank, makes netting that much harder!

Maybe get another tank just for her, so she can put some of the guppies in it, but explain to her that some fish are predators and big fish eat little fish!

As far as the pinky mouse, well I can even stomach that, so I kinda agree with her saving it.
 
Man... I tryed to feed feeder guppys ( the other were fancy tailed) guess where they are at now.... TELL ME WHY she can tell if I feed 3 out of 1.6 million guppys... I guess the 1 inch rule doesnt apply to her.
 
ha this is funny. i cant let my fiance see anythin that is samller than a hopper or she tries to keep it and i have to explain to her that its goin to die without its mother
its a pian in the arse
she likes goldies but doesnt really stop me from feeding them. if there is a cool looking one she likes to keep it till it out grows the bowl. but i only feed goldies like once every few months if that now that everyone eats frozen
 
o.o....silly silly girls (is a girl) i feed guppies all the time..my feeders are fancy so i have pretty ones. to look at in the tank...but ooooohh how i love watching them get gobbled up from below by my bottomless pit of a mouth aka Sculpin ^_^

i like my adult mature breeders..ones in not feeding but even them..if they stop making babies....food!! ^_^
guess im not that much of a girlie girl (thank god for my fish's sake)

haha My wife took a mouse i was going to feed to black aro and bought a cage and put it in my kids room and said i couldnt feed it to my fish cuz my daughter had named
:irked: thats low man
 
i have very different views than a lot of yo us i don’t call watching a pinky getting eaten a man"lye thing i call it animal cruelty no mater if its a pinky or a minnow i have no problem feeding live hoppers to my tegu because she needs it or she would live a very short life I believe if an animal needs live food feed it but if it doesn’t why put a live creature thou un necessary pain im a man and i keep aggressive fish but all my fish are healthy on non live food and some have been for a while now i believe that live food can do more harm than good to an animal it can introduce parasites overasly not if you breed the live food your self but why go thou all the work of setting up another breeding tank its extra work for you doing the extra water change if one of my fish wont eat i will feed it a cricket or a hopper only because i have to and i will do what i need to to keep the fish healthy if all my fish needed live fish every feed i would feed live
sorry to preach and go on pls don’t think i have some thing against you because you feed live because i don’t their your animals and you do what you think is right i respect that
 
fish and other things are killed to make your fish pellets and food....
i would rather have control of how the food dies ( i raise my own feeders) than just opening a container and not seeing it or thinking about it
