Is Fish Keeping Wrong?

[Lord Spooky]

most of what we do is wrong. But if you think about it where kinda doing the fish a favor we take them from crowded tanks at a store who live with bad tank mates, they dont have to worry about being stressed out and can live a relativly happy life. they get food whenever there hungry. If you think about it aslo not every fish is taken from the wild and throw into a tank. So we could also be helping there numbers increase a little.

O and Lhutch i agree with you

just playing devils advocate here.

Is anything mankind does that is not wrong?

Of course, human capacity is an amazing feat. Sure we are wrong often but think about the selfless heroic acts that happen in times of chaos. What about people who give their kidney to another? What about thos people that ran into the Twin Towers to save complete strangers? I completely agree wolf that mankind does many many wrongs and I understand you are just playing devils advocate but yes I do think there are things we do that arent wrong.

Umm...
Quick one, the vast majority of human 'goodness' (bad phrasing) tends to be in response to human folly or something involving human factors as a cause....

However much we talk about the fishes innocence in its tank , and thigns like taht there is sitll much deate, but hten lies hte inevitable, the footprint fish keeping and the role is has with hte environment?
about hte resources fishkeeping consumes?

 

[Lord Spooky]

thats true as well.
like i mean thinking about it makes me upset because when you think about it fish keeping uses TONS of freshwater which is are drinking source so thats not helping. The water we use for fish tanks and drinking could also take away the water tropical fish rdepend on.

Not likely. Water is constantly made, broken down and evaporated and re-deposited. Maybe for the fish in the resevoirs we use, but thats it. We aren't taking water from many fish habitats. They come from man made lakes, aquifers which don't have fish in them, or from de-salinified salt water. All of these don't harm ecosystems at all.

This is totally off subject but if you want to talk about water and it not being available for other purposes, consider how many millions (billions or trillions maybe) of gallons of water is sitting in warehouses and grocery shelves as bottled water. Another debate for another forum I guess but is that part of the causes of all the droughts we have now? Less water to be evaporated and rained back down.

Back on topic and to address the issue of tank water not being available for rivers and streams. The water evaporates from our tanks just as it would from a pond, river or other body of water so it is still in the eco system and being processed daily. There is the same amount of water on the earth today as there was when it was created. It's just in some different forms than it was then. I don't think Adam and Eve ever drank a bottle of Evian. I don't think that fish tanks are harming the world's water supply as much as some other things
