similar when we scold others, we help them clear karma, but we create the karma ourselves.Anyway most fish feed are made of fish meat
At least there is no direct killing of the fish, so it is allowed under the '3 conditions' or '5 conditions' of pure meat and the karma is generally much lighter. [/b]

worldly people like to rear fish ,to beautify home
my cousin rear a catfish which he buys alot of live crickets to feed them .
In the aspect of Buddhism ,it is already against the 5 precepts by commiting the death of an sentient beings .
Do not underestimate the powers of this action , cause in future your future career and wealth life is in danger ,because those that die due to your action is going to create karmic obstacle for you in life
My intake is please dun breed fish .
Fish breeding is only to beautify your living surrounding
but ...
Have you thought of beautifying your own mind and radiate compassion to all ?
I do not criticise ,but I hope you will reduce breeding fish and cultivating
your own "fishes of beauty" in your heart
my humble input

That is an ignorant behavior even if you are somehow delusioned to think that it is virtuous. As long as you inflict sufferings upon others you create bad karma.Originally posted by maggot:Hmm...bad karma for helping other beings to re-incarnate faster -

never fed live food is okie ...Originally posted by sun8:But wat if i never fed them live food ???
its up to u whether u want to rear fish or not
If you want to beautify your living environment , by all means go ahead lor -
sometimes keeping a fish in a tank is more beneficial to the fish than it living in a river that is full of predators. Grey area

thereÂ’s indeed karma. unless u place them in a bigger pond for freedom, confining their freedom will also back fire on ourself.
i know as i used to have pets too.

Hi sun8
Why not turn your fish into vegetarian.
