Hate to break it to those labelling fish "higher lifeforms"... but fish aren't wired to feel pain. It's all just an involuntary stimulous response. They don't require fear and trauma to avoid damage... their brain simply tells their body to evade and it happens, without resistance. They and other simple lifeforms are basically organic robots, programmed with DNA</div>
Actually a not-too recent paper in NATURE (the science journal) has showed convincing proof that fish, indeed, do feel pain. I would now direct you to the link, BUT they just put all of this ending year's previous papers in the suscriber's-only section. Sigh this whole topic is distastefull.

Wow. Looks like I missed some stuff while I was away...
That ant idea I suggested wasn't just an idea. I've done it before, and the plant doesn't eat the ants as quickly as you might have thought, nep_ak. It just feeds the plant slowly over a long period of time. My colony never actually ran out, I just cleaned out the terrarium for a different use.
