If you don't want to see the pics. Don't keep reopening the thread. Simple.

If you can't handle seeing a fish cooked on a plate then I really can't help you...

my two cents
if its dead its dead, i doubt anyone would pull a fish out there tank and eat it for the sake of eating it, but really the options are bin it, bury it, eat it, which ever path was chosen is upto the indervidual, personally i wouldnt have eaten it though hey, a tsn how many of us can say weve eaten one of the best tasting fish in the amazon.
a pets a pet, an opertunity is an opertunity, an opionion is an opinion a neuro has nothing to do with this, lets just get along folks, it looks like coke was the drink of choice not spilt milk

Get over it mate. Just because a bunch of sensitive 15yo fish keepers don't like it doesn't mean it's not meant to be done. :roll:

I'll eat a big colony of frontosa next!

Ah. Through the cover glass mate? You don't keep a 3 foot fish in a standard 4'er. Their are gaps in the top of my 8x3 big enough for a large person to get in and out.

I did see it jump out and I did put it back in the tank. It's injuries were far too severe to live.

Alex
