....so thats why he wasn't on the forums in a while..Thats just wrong, why would somebody do that to a fish? Just like this video I found on youtube of tattooed fish. http://youtube.com/watch?v=FsKWu3qPQro
)...but, those tatts makes the fish look extremely ugly! 
wtf? 
I wouldn't do it but I think thats cool...flame away. And seriously if you have a major problem with pierced fish then I hope none of you ever go FISHING...
Yeah I don't think its that bad, at least he has the fish in a 75 gallon, I mean tagging a fish in the wild is equally as painful (not to mention catching a fish on rod and reel).
I don't think its that bad, they look healthy, even though its not natural. I mean people overstock their tanks on this website to no end, and the fish look healthy, so nobody says anything. Overstocking isn't natural, but if he can keep the fish healthy this way I don't see any difference between, again, tagging a specimen or catching one on a rod and reel.

doesnt bother me. he had stated 10 mins after he did it the oscars ate and had no problems eating. it would seem to me if it bothered the fish then they would not have eaten right away. i dont think fish feel pain but if they do then i guess i put alof of fish in pain when i go fishing.
