I never said you can't post your opinion. Your opinion, however, will be challenged by more knowledgable hobbyists anytime you post ridiculous comments on threads such as this.
Your comments on live fish looking healthy is absurd. Can you look at a feeder fish and tell how nutrionally valuable it is going to be? Freezing prepared foods for our pets kills the majority of parasites and diseases. I've never heard of a fish contracting E. coli before. Feel free to provide a link for that... In fact, as E coli is found on the surface of skin and tissue and humans often get it from eating under cooked meat I highly suspect eating raw fish would give you a greater risk of contracting it; that is, if it was really an issue..
You are correct in that feeding FW fish to SW fish greatly reduces any risk of parasites, or infections. What you conveniently refuse to address, however, is the issue that feeding fW fish to SW predators leads to an unhealthy fatty buildup on internal organs and leads to vitamin deficiencies. Not to mention that SW fish need a variety in their diet, something FW guppies and minnows fail to provide. According to Fenner's website, for instance, FW feeders have a type of body fat that SW predators cannot adequately digest.
I'm not "the man" by any means. I learn things every day in this hobby and on this forum. That said, it's clear on this particular topic I have chosen to educate myself on properly feeding fish. You have not. FW feeders are not good, long term choices, for SW fish. Ever.
wasnt statin that fish can get e coli just statin you have a 5$$ a hr processin your stuff and how safe is that?
