A note concerning pre-packaged frozen fish

[Sonya610]

Sally's silversides do not cause seizures if that's what you're saying. Other brands might, you have to pay attention to the ingredients.

The chemical is often not listed in the ingredients. If it comes from China the ingredients label doesn't even matter. Do you think there would be a national recall of pet food silversides if a reptile was found to have died as a result? You know...after the autopsy and investigation....it would make the national news and the feds would get involved and new legislation enforced regarding of labeling reptile/fish food (even though they don't require it for human consumption) and such?

I respect and understand your concern, but I do feel doubtful about the silversides because so many people feed them on here without any problems. However I think I'm just going to avoid fish for right now... It's not worth the hassle and worrying about contamination. I checked the package and the tilapia I have only says "fish (tilapia)" in the ingredients, but I would rather not risk it at this point. I will stick to a rodent diet and supplement it with worms...
