So I found some fresh smelts and anchovies at the Asian store. I'm excited, but I have a couple newbie fish questions...
1) Should I not worry about scales? I know it's probably not an issue with these tiny things, but if I ever fed a larger fish...
2) Do they have the potential to carry ricksettia like in Pacific Salmon? The container said they are from Canada, Peru, Japan, etc.
And while we are talking about fish, I also found shishamos, which are basically smelts with a belly full of eggs. I believe it's similar to the kind you see on sushi. Think that's worth a try? It could get messy, lol :biggrin:
