Is This Fair--- Feeding Live Things?

[jourdy288]

I saw certain videos on youtube. Personally, I only think these people's method of feeding is wrong. Otherwise, I have no problem with people feeding live food to live fish... but mice is kinda taking it off the deep end.

Agreed.

For those who don't know, the poster of the videos tank is 125 gallons, containing three 12" oscars (two red tiger, one albino) and a 22" silver arowana. They were fed a live mouse and after that a goldfish.

Well what I like about fish in nature that our predators is the fact the prey has a chance to escape as with a tank its eventual.

I have a Piranha he actually eats shrimp, mussells and Squid which was previously frozen from the super market.

I havnt seen the vid, but obviouslt from posts, a mouse gets eaten by an aro? thats plane cruelty. I keep mice, so this is perticularly saddening to me. The only thing I feed live are walter worms , vinigar eels, and bbs. this is shear stupidity. Also I hope he gets a bigger tank(say 200-300 gallons.). I'd love to have an aro or 2, but being an educated fish owner I know for a fact I dont have the room or $ to house on properly, and its people like this who keep aros in ltiile tanks that make me feel like punching humanity.

poor mouse R.I.P

poor arowana, hope you get a bigger tank and a less stupid owner.

A silver arowana needs a tank a lot bigger than 300 gallons.

Also, just out of quriosity(sorry this is off topic)
how big of a tank would a jardini require? I was informed they dont get quite as large as silvers and the like(PM with an answer so we dont get too off topic)

A 180gl is the bare minimum if kept alone... but they are so aggressive, it's hard NOT to keep it alone!

Oops... I'll PM you, too.
