Cooking a fish from your aquarium

[Gershom]

I wouldn't eat my own aquarium fish, because aquarium water is definitely less clean than natural water. The taste of the fish will probably be worse than the taste of the fish in nature.

I had a beautiful mated pair of green parrots die one night, after a large water change—the water turned cloudy, and I figure it was a bacterial bloom from some local (tap water) problem.

Anyway, I filetted, breaded and fried them in a little vegetable oil—delicious! A lot like walleye.
Too expensive for frequent eating though….

I get questions and/or jokes about this all the time whenever someone new comes to my house, I'm just suprised I haven't seen this topic come up on the forums until now. I personally don't think I could ever eat a fish from one of my fish tanks.

One good thing, I don't like the smell, taste, texture of fish or really anything that lives in water. So nope won't be eating any of my fish.

I’d be chill with trying it as I love fish but I still probably wouldn’t just cause of anything that could be in the water or what caused them death which would be harmful to me.
