<p>Have you ever eaten a piece of organic fish?</p>
<p></p>
<p>The answer is <em><strong>no</strong></em> because there isn't any organic fish... until you grow some.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The rules are that the baby fish have to be fed organic food from day one and they will be considered organic, even if mom and dad were not organic.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I think it would be prudent to have mom and dad on organic food <em><strong>before</strong></em> you let them breed.</p>

<p>You can buy organic chicken and beef but not fish. Remember if you grow organic fish to sell you do not have any competition and can command the selling price<a rel="nofollow" style="cursor: pointer;"><img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Smile.gif"/></a></p>
