Would this work?

Instead of keeping the fish in hundreds of gallons water, what about instead using aeroponics on the fish? You could suspend them from a conveyor and squirt their gills with a nozzle as they floated past every so often?

My marine biologist friend in Florida thought of that idea (then spent minutes chuckling to himself).

Sounds like a terrible existence, but it would limit unwanted spawnings.

What about genetically engineering fish so that the gills are actually in a protective sac containing the water - then they could survive without being in water for their whole life!

clarias catfish would love a system like that, especially if they could reach the fish dangling from the other conveyor :wink:

I hope this is a joke....feeding would be incredibly labour intensive, probably by hand, one pellet at a time, because unlike plants fish dont get their food from the water (but hey i think we all know that)

It sounds like a more practicall idea for yabbies as i think they can breathe out of water they just can't breed.
