PETA nutbags don't THINK, they just follow. I could care less if people want to eat meat - it's just not right for me. However, I don't think any animal should be needlessly mistreated for any reason. And that includes not knowing how to take care of it. My question to you would then be why did you get the fish if it doesn't have value to you? It must have had SOME value or you wouldn't have purchased it in the first place.
As for "not valuing" fungi or plants, there's the little logistic issue of "I've got to eat something".
