FISH ARE CANNIBALS? O_o
 
Alright folks.

I have discovered, that fish are cannibals!

(That's right, weird I know.)

It's true though!

All fish food, contains 20% ground up fish...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

That means my little goldfish Elmo (Yes that's his name) is part cannibal! How can this be...

Discuss: Cannibal fish.

Well.. Mother fish eat their babies when they're born.
Tis why you need to seperate them.

O_o I knew some fish eat other fish, but fish in fish food? Wow, never saw that coming.

[random fish comment] I had a catfish that our friends gave us and it was still alive so we left it on the counter, and it lived on the counter, without water, for 6 days.

You never knew?

xD

most fish foods have fish oil, too. xD

Oscars/ other cichlids eat feeder fish. So yep, fish do eat each other. With fish, it’s whatever can fit in their mouth they’ll eat. Goldfish will also eat smaller fish, if they’re left in the tank with them and snails. Fish food also contains shrimp meal, which I found gross.

Hrm...but wouldn't that technically be forced cannibalism on your part? >>;

I mean, even if the fish knows what he's eating, he's got no other choice. D: I don't think fish enjoy eating artificial rocks...or real ones. ^___^;

Hehe...Elmo. xD

  • I... had no clue about that, That's really weird.

    Although is it still cannibalism if you don't choose to do it? The fish can't control what's in their fish food.

Gush 11-25-2007 11:17 PM

Like someone mentioned, I honestly never saw it coming.

I can never talk to Elmo the same way again...

Deadly Mango Kitty 11-25-2007 11:21 PM

Wow, I'm slow. I didn't get the Elmo joke until just now.

I had a goldfishie named Chicken Nugget. I think I fed him Betta fish food.

That's horrid.

The End.

But WTF @ CANNIBALS.
I will never look at a fish the same way again >.>

Winter Wind 11-25-2007 11:42 PM

I didn't know that...I thought they were happy algae-eaters. o.o

Aries 11-25-2007 11:43 PM

Aurora 11-25-2007 11:45 PM

I smell a fish lawsuit.

Kearin 11-25-2007 11:55 PM

I knew most fish were cannibals and will eat each other...

... I never realized fish food had ground up fish IN it.... o_o;;; That's quite messed up.

Dystopia 11-25-2007 11:56 PM

o-o; That's... Extremely disturbing. ._.; Is there such a thing as vegetarian fish food?

lol xD

Gush 11-25-2007 11:58 PM

No.

According to my research, fish only are attracted to food that to them seems like it has some fish in it. Even the algae they eat has fish skin that rubbed off on it.

*reads first post again*
*headdesk*
Wow, I'm out of it. I thought Elmo as in " furry red monster thing."

Heh...eh. I feel stupid today.

ljosberinn 11-26-2007 12:12 AM

  • Well, durr. What did you think was in their food? Grass?

    And why is your fish any worse for eating other fish?

Menteur 11-26-2007 12:13 AM

... Canable fish?
What is the world coming to!? ::gonk::

Badhra 11-26-2007 12:21 AM
