Do you ever eat fish in front of your pet fish?

Thanks for saying it's funny, as I've never actually seen it that way, I was pretty worried that people were going to say it was really disgusting and cruel. We ahve actually had steamed fish once, and the whole fish was cooked all in one go (with head and tail etc) and it was a much larger one (than them anyway) and it was just served ona large plate onto the table...I think they got a bit depressed when they saw as they all seem to lie low on the bottom of the tank, and also hid away from me when I approached them, I told my mum this, and agin, she said I was being silly and mad! :(

Hhaahahh!! Since I live in the Philippines I have fish a lot and we also have this food called "Buwad" It's basically fish dried then fried so it's crispy.. Smells real bad though! But still has the shope of the fish. Everything is eaten.. Head, tail, eyes, bones.. I even tease my fish! hahha They start going near me since it's food anyways.. They don't really care when I bring food that's shaped like fish they start going near since they think I'm going to feed them.. The fish I have are probably idiots? Maybe? Hahhaha..

Fish are actually pretty intelligent, at least I like to think of mine are anyway! I suppose the larger fish do still eat the smaller fish...so with us eating the larger fish for them, we're actually doing them a favour...? ;)

Goldfishes have a memory of three months, it is not short term : http://nootropics.com/intelligence/smartfish.html If they are smart, when they understand what is fire, it is too late .

I actually find that my goldfish are pretty intelligent. They have learnt to recognise me and respond evertime I approach them. They have learnt to do certain tricks as well :)

lol, haha, mentally scarred, and soon we'll get the goldfish suing us and sending us legal papers for psychological damage and emotional hurt, plus damages for loss of appetite...

well i dont like it because you cannot "pet" it or play with it.

How come you don't agree with keeping fish as pets?

Oh, I see, yes, it's can be quite frustration when you can't really physically touch it, but you can still actually 'play' with it - it depends on the fish really, whether they want to play or not, we have one comet fish out of the three which is very active and responds everytime I approach the tank, it will swim around right up to the glass, and will react to my fingers going up and down the tank, and will continuously follow it, it is a very smart and playful fish, it also gets jealous if I give too much attention to the other fish and will swim in front of your point of focus just to make sure that you're looking at it. :)

I think its sick for people to do it on purpose, but I suppose it doesn't happen. :) xx

I had a similar experience in Hong Kong, where in the seafood restaurants, they have the large aquariums situated around you and then you can choose whoch swimming fish to order. Then 20 minutes later it would then be served on the table in front of you, I find it difficult to eat it then... :)
