2 goldys?
Man I do that before breakfast!
I rationalise my killing by breeding.
As long as ya keep the karmic ballance in favour of births rather than
deaths all is well.
Besides it's almost spring
which means goldy spawns
which mean culls to ensure people only get the best
culls = deaths by the way to you peeps not able to read between lines.
nyea
it's no big deal tho
a lotta fish die before they reach hobbyists
a lotta fish die as bycatch in trawlers
so called rubbish fish
anyway don't feel bad
these are just trolls
:-)


Swar....
You say "cull" = death.
Not always. To cull is simply to divide. You have the good and great
ones put to one side and the culls to the other. What you do with the
culls is optional.
Some people will sell these not so perfect specimens to shops, or for
pets.
Terribly deformed fry should be euthanized, sure. However, fish that
have not so perfect coloring or finnage can be given away or sold to
pet shops. Most often the buyers never even see the defect that made
them a cull in the first place.
