jgillece Banned Posts: 31 Kudos: 20 Registered: 27-Sep-2005	Hello all, I just had a pretty big gold severum die on me lastnight, he was pretty big and meaty, so, my roommate had the idea, he is a fish, and we do eat seafood often.. anyway, we fileted it like any catfish or salmon. so I got the idea... why dont I start raising fish to eat them, any ideas of good meaty fish to eat? that are easy to raise?

I know, that's done in some places...I just can't get past the thought of eating my own pet ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

But aside from that, meds can be a huge factor if you used them on your severum! 72 gallon bowfront:Tanganyikan Lake set up 75 gallon: A.

Fortunately I have turtles who are most grateful for any corpses that come their way, even then it can be quite disconcerting to hear the bones of a previously much loved fish being crunched up through the water. Turtles can usually eat even rancid fish ,and arent susceptible to fish diseases, so at least im not giving them a poorly tummy, the same could not be said if I ate the fish myself.

You're better off going fishing. I also don't think with the cost of getting a decent amount of fish and feeding them and such would be any cheaper than going to the grocery store.

mrsmonty Hobbyist Posts: 124 Kudos: 58 Votes: 33 Registered: 27-Sep-2005	The first thing that caught my eye was that this person actually filleyed it..... let alone thought about eating it??!! I agree about the whole just going fishing.... because from someone who's grown up with lakes all around, I can tell you catching the fish and going on the lake with the boat is like 90% of the fun!!!

Mole Enthusiast Posts: 167 Registered: 23-Mar-2004	the grossness and cruelty aside that's like, eating somebody who died of cancer. you don't do it. i suppose if it was alive and you killed it, it might be ok, but really..it died for a reason. www.zopilotemachine.com

superlion Mega Fish Posts: 1246 Kudos: 673 Votes: 339 Registered: 27-Sep-2003	I'd suggest tilapia, but you'd need a really, really big tank... wouldn't it be easier (and safer, and cheaper, and more fun) to get yourself a fishing liscence, rod and tackle, and go fishing? ><>

Perhaps you could think of a topic that would be a lot more interesting and informative. Have a nice day. Those who say they cant, Never will !!!
