Nice. Where did you buy yours?


That would suck if Petsmart did inject hormones. That's the only place I know that sells decent sized BPs.

If they are Orange, Yellow, Brown, Tan, or Black then they are not dyed. If they are this shade of purple red then they are dyed. Colors like Blue and Green are dyed as well.

Because Petsmart only carries high quality fish. There are fish farms that use hormones to get fish to brighten up for a few months. It happens to german blue rams coming from Asia.

Happens with Oscars too but I honestly doubt the ones that Petsmart carries are juiced.
