I understand your skeptism, but eventually looping through the
database records *is* the right way:
Froglet.find(:all).each do |froglet|
# ...
end
Looping through the fixtures only is not possible. Even though it was,
it would be a bad idea since some of the records might have changed,
new records might have been added and so on. You should always be sure
to use the latest state of the database. :)
