Side note-Mods, feel free to move, didn't know where to put this one. Well, I suppose you are right that they could be changing out the individual fish over time, maybe (sounds dubious)' At a future visit of same family member 'Are you intending to still get any bigger fish?' As I was leaving (they were babysitting my sons that evening, I don't know what got over me to joke 'And please don't eat my fish.' The response in an almost pained voice as if to say that it is surprising that I do not realize that 'Don't worry, your fish are too small to eat.' Made the mistake of going together to an aquarium (museum) to please the kids, and had to ask that please the discussion of eating fish and fish recipes and comments such as 'oh, this is this type of fish! I remember they serve it in restaurants in Hawaii.' please could we at least wait until we leave the building? So as soon as we did. In our favorite restaurant they have this display tank with this fish that is huge almost the size of the tank, and he looks very healthy, and has for a long time. 'Oh, why do you choose to keep such tiny fish in such a big tank? Big fish are more fun. Sometimes I get them to buy a betta for the ten gallon instead. response? ' well they only live a few months for me anyways.' grrr again. I proceed again to tell them that they are carp and will get to be pond fish size eventually. ( couldn't even turn around poor fella he went to a nice 300gal with more oscars put a big fish in and it will grow til it can't then you stunt the growth and the fish doesn't live as long. it makes it so easy to stop stupid newbs from buying babies when I show them the big guys or they ask.' Don't fish grow to the size of the tank?' I say 'A neon tetra will only reach 2 in no matter how big the tank is.
