I thaink we've had this discussion before, Peter, but I think we need to
look at whether fish are able to be saved by maintenance (i.e. 30 years down
the track we don't end up with a weedy shadow of the original fish)... but I
personally hope that they are. If they're worth feeding now, they'll be
worth feeding in 10, 20, 50 years time... I've seen some rainbows I wouldn't
feed, but maybe that was just the water quality ;P
