Cool or Cruel?

[imcrystal]

i think blood parraots are ugly fish but thats a neat picture. how do they do that use a needle and inject them with color??? does it last forever or temporary?? i couldnt do that i agree its cruel but it looks awesome..

Super cruel. I'm going to find the people breed/color blood parrots, put them in beer-batter, and deep fry them in 200 degree peanut oil.

How about the tattoo parrots? Anyone seen those in LFS?

I agree it's wrong,..but demand is high for dyed
fish and hybrids,..i don't suppose it will stop any-
time soon

i think im quite lucky ive never actually witnessed these, if i did i think i would break down in the middle of the shop. even parrot fish that are dyed arent regularly seen in uk shops now, at least not in any ive been into and ive been up and down the country with my job and a good lfs is the first thing i seek out. i havent even seen the bog standard plain hybrid that much.

I think its extremely cruel. The hobby is filled with fish that are naturally beautiful. Why do people feel the need to deform a fish when there are already so many beautiful fish to choose from? It's nasty and I am interested to know who the 6 people that said it was cool are.

this whole "species" as a fish disgusts me and makes me sick.

Agreed! I mean there horrible orange but to try and make em look better by doing that . . Well you cant .
