farm raised vs. wild caught fish for food

[Mazzy]

Just curious -

I was at the grocer today and bought some shrimp, an oyster, and some smelt for my nem. The smelt (which I haven't fed yet and will never buy again because it smelled SO bad!!) and the oyster were "wild caught" but the shrimp was "farm-raised" and I wondered if I should buy/feed it. Do you guys only buy "wild caught" fish for your nems if you buy food at the fish counter, or do you buy whatever; farm and wild caught?

I will use either. I've read for humans that wild is preferable, more omega 3's and perhaps other benefits. However, my anemones seem happy to eat either.

I personally just don't buy any farm raised fish of any kind for myself, and I'm just giving nem what I'm already buying, so mine get scallop or raw shrimp.
Humans always seem to dirty up what they farm.

Don't feed anything that smell bad to your Anemone or you will be sorry.
Smell bad = spoiled

Farm raised fish and shrimp are bad fish/shrimp. Bad for the enviroment and they are raised in horrid conditions.
There are salmons that raised in corral at sea. These are better, buyt still dumps a lot of nutrient intot he water. For me, I stay away from pond raised animals.
Abalone, oysters that are farm raised are OK. They are basically raise at sea.
