centerpiece? I'm opening up a business, it has nothing to do with food, it's a school to teach English as a second language.I'm inviting some friends who work in human resources and might get me many students coming to my school.I want to serve their choice of either a fish or salmon fillets with two sides; shrimp and tuna croquettes.I want to get some round tables, some fish bowls, and some cheap fish that can live like a week in a bowl without any special equipment.Are live fish swimming on a bowl a good centerpiece for a fish dinner?

I would say NO. It sounds like a good idea and some might like it but then you might offend some people. Even though people aren't eating the same fish, they might get sentimental and have a ruined meal.

no because you can't show something alive and happy swimming around in its bowl then show your friends what there about to eat how happy the salmon was before someone caught them in a net and gutted them cut them all up and then cooked um up think about it be like eating something you don't know what it is then being told what it is, makes you not want to eat it again like rocky mountain oysters yeah you might eat it not knowing what it is but would you eat it if you had a bull right in front of ya I don't think so lol

If, you are launching a business, you should know that having live animals on display require a fish specialist that can maintain the environment and test water for the fish constantly during the event. Otherwise, what you are planning to do is considered illegal! Not to mention, it's kind of in bad taste to have live fish, when, you'll be serving them later. Try other fish theme decorations like placemats, fish shaped bowls, or just plain fish bowls with colored beads. Do not use the live fish, you don't know how people will react and remember it can be illegal!
