Fish Food

[mike_dani]

So I have a question, I was fishing this week and while fishing I thought if this blue gill is good enough for me to eat....... Can I feed it to my fish. I live near the cleanest lake in the country and am wondering a couple of things.

Would I introduce heavy metals into the tank, what about cooper or some king of organic fertilizers?

Whats yalls opinion....

I would say even with it being the cleanest lake in the country there is still alot of risks involved. As you mentioned metals could be introduced and also fertilizer runoff from area homes can enter that water as well.

Yeah, that is a lot of risk considering how cheap fish food is...

On the other hand a lot of us use frozen foods and I have no idea how clean that stuff really is. Even homemade frozen foods could use seafood of questionable quality.
