Cool or Cruel?

What the problem is, alot of people think these are a real cichlid. Since these are popular stores stock them, if they didnt, its possible some of the nicer species of fish would be stocked in their place.

If people didnt buy them as much they wouldnt make them. But they make good money out of them, so it wont stop. They should put a law into effect to ban this practice.

Yes, I do.

thats messed up. on here we are against fish abuse. maybe this isnt the site for you.

i voted cruel, like any self-respecting fish keeper should
i just cannot understand why man has to mess with nature to create animals that suffer every second they live, not to mention they're butt ugly to begin with...
i always prefer wild forms, no matter what species

I don't agree with Ian8834, but why even have a poll if everyone is going to bash those who don't pick what they consider to be the "right" option? This is why a lot of the people who voted cool are not going to reply, assuming they aren't just trying to be funny.

its not about bashing those who pick the so called wrong answer. its about trying to get them involved into the debate and explain why they picked cool even after knowing how they do the colouring. i know they dont have to but it would be more interesting if they did.

It would be interesting to read their reasoning

Ian8834, you say that you understand how fish are dyed. Many people consider this precedure to be detrimental to a fish's health. Are you aware of this? Do you have experience with dyed fish that have lived a healthy life? I'm just curious about why you think dyed fish are cool. These questions go out to anyone else who might have picked cool as well.

SO what are we voting on here?

The picture, which is the ONLY thing provided in the original post?

I voted Cool, It is a very interesting visual piece and is a better photo then most of this month's POTM

Are we voting on this hybrid fish? Which is up for debate whether right or wrong, but mainly comes down to personal preference.

Or are we voting on the very bad practice of dying fish to enhance sales? I would doubt any body would vote "cool" on this besides the profiteers themselves.

As usual these poles come with a lack of complete info, so getting true results is generally impossible.
