cool Video - Oscar eating mouse

[aggrocichlidfan]

can we get this off here. this isnt helping anyone and gives aquarists a bad name

this is interesting to some ppl. i like big fish like that. and guess what where ever oscars come from whatever river if a mice or rat or whatever falls in it its the same thing. the lion king video explains most of it!

ya big fish will eat animals like that and it is interesting but its videos like that, that get those peta peoples' panties in a wad

thats sad. they breed them to look like that. the fatter the better but the fish can barely move.

they're like the pitbulls of the fish world... when people breed them and they look like they're square shaped pigs that can hardly walk, instead of dogs.


As for the mice being fed, I do not agree with that. To me (and I have had large fish that were more than able to eat something of that size) you have some responsibility to treat living things with respect. While I know some things are used as feeders, I think you should try to make it as smooth as possible for whatever is being fed (lol, ok, well you know what I mean, I hope). You can knock out feeder animals with carbon dioxide before you feed them to snakes. I think it's messed up to torture an animal as it's being killed, and for the mouse to be swimming around terrified and being dragged underwater just isn't right. Even with goldfish (and laaawd knows I've been through enough feeders in my day with my seamonsters) you need to make sure they're an appropriate size so they can be eaten in one bite to just get it over with.

Additionally... I personally wouldn't want a live mouse (teeth, claws and all) struggling around inside a fish I cared about.:icon_hang:

thats just the fat bully style dogs. those arent even pitbull to me. the real pitbull is a game dog. some old pics. i miss all my dogs. sorry for derailing but i hate the reputation those fat currs have given the true pitbull terrier.

Very nice pitts...I have had a couple, both were very loyal dogs, without a mean bone in there body unless you were causing harm to a family member. And my friend has some pit/curr they use for hog hunts, they are definitly working dogs, but are just as easily inclined to climb up in your lap(all100-125+lbs) an lick you to death.
