Someone also mentioned that using feeder goldfish and feeder fish is cruel. Again I'm going to take on this subject. Its not more cruel than you eating a caged chicken, cows that are rounded up and slaughtered before their siblings and parents. Unless you are a strict vegan, and don't keep pets or use any animal products, you really cannot be casting judgments. As for feeders being not healthy for feeding, well that is a whole other issue. And this so called thiaminase found in feeder goldfish, leading to thiamine deficiency when fed exclusively, is this still being believed? how can one hobbyist test this? Where is the published result, and was this done on all different species of fish or just one? If you have the answer, please email it to me at amazonaq@gmail.com Why would feeders have thiaminase? Is it different than other piscivorous fish in the wild? I lived in Hong Kong for many years, and have seen many fish fed exclusively feeders, and seem to grow just well, large, healthy, and able to breed. So where is this deficiency apparent? Just like the notion that certain fish needs salt as they grow up, like a magical switch that turns on and without it they will die.
