disgustipated Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 we can never imitate their natural quality of life in captivity.it is always going to be substandard. keeping any animal in an artificial habitat is always a downgrade from their natural life. but we all do it. so where do you draw the line.

livingart Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 one could draw the line at doing all within your power to ensure that the fish has its biological, environmental and psychological needs met and leads a long and comfortable life.

F15hguy Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 not really, i'd rather live in a small but well fed room than in a large room full of lions.... oh and btw, here is one of the coolest things in the sea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 It may depend on how many predators you put in the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 all about balance. not sarcastic, but if you think about the fate of most fish in the wild.... being slowly digested alive by a bigger fish, or being slowly poisoned by pollutants, an aquarium seems like paradise. as long as the keeper puts in the effort to make it as comfortable as possible.

Sophia Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 People attribute fish with human emotional traits they do not possess. It's natural to them to be living in the wild and all the danger that goes with it. It's not natural that we put them in a secure environment and give them names and processed food but we still do it. :cofn: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 as long as the keeper puts in the effort to make it as comfortable as possible. I think that is the key point here, an aquarium SHOULD be just like a cosy replica of an animals natural environment (IMO) and with very specific feeders like nudi's that isn't exactly simple.

It's not natural that we put them in a secure environment and give them names and processed food but we still do it. :cofn: I think the point was not about keeping those animals in a aquarium that can be provided for and looked after - its about taking animals that WILL NOT survive, fullstop. Our local nudi's are mainly specialist feeders - i.e. they fed on one type of sponge or 1 type of hydroid that will not grow in our tanks. trouble is we see it alot - throw some water in a 30l tank, bit of beach rock and a jasons nudibranch - aarrgghh!!
