ArE YoU PlaYiNg?!?!? Why would anyone want to eat their aqurium fish!?!? I DEFINATLY don't know how they taste, but i do know that many aquarium chemicals are labeled not for human consumption and I would check into that.... ARRGGHHH!!! DONT YOUR FISH!!!!! :D <img src="graemlins//uhuh.gif" border="0" alt="[U-Huh]" /> <img src="graemlins//eek.gif" border="0" alt="[eek]" /> <img src="graemlins//yell.gif" border="0" alt="[yell]" /> :D

Are you TRYING to get a rise out of people??
I've been on the side of ethical treatment for pets in several recent posts. However, I actually think eating your pet trigger (probably akin to eating a pet potbelly pig) is LESS cruel than stuffing 7-8 large aggressive fish into a small tank, and LESS irresponsible than buying a species which is completely illsuited for aquarium life.
I love steak...but if they slaughtered cows by starving them to death or putting 5 starving cows into a small pen together and seeing which one survives...I'd probably think about eating something else.
I like chicken...but if chickens were endangerered I'd probably look for another kind of fowl to eat.
So go ahead, eat your trigger...it's probably better than mistreating it.

Send it to me if your going to eat it, it probably doesn't taste all that good either. I would sell it to the LFS for $$$$$$$$$.

Triggers are best served as follows:
take 1 cup flour
1 cup italian breadcrumbs
5 tablespoons of garlic salt
5 tablespoons of ground blakc pepper
fry in butter until golden brown
then bake at 350 degrees until cooked thoroughly
mmmm tastes like chicken,
anyone who takes this seriously needs to quit hugging trees and take the branched out of their rectum/...
