i know in the past and even the present there have been much debate and talk about hybrids being inhumane. i too am not a fan, however i myself have 4 blood parrots i bought a while ago and are actually doing great in a tank with 2 oscars and some catfish...but besides that.......back to my story...so here goes, im at walmart today which i know....bad stuff about walmart.....so no need to get into. i will say though i do get alot of healthy lionhead goldfish and have gotten butterfly koi there also for good price and they have lived for years (going on 3 so far) but there i am scoping out the fish and i see wrote on the glass "THIS MONTHS SPECIAL HEART SHAPED PARROTFISH" ( they were selling for i think $14.63) I DIDNT THINK MUCH TIL I LOOKED CLOSELY AND THEY WERE THE ONES WITH NO TAIL. it instead of making me mad, got me kinda sad. that there they were at such a large chain store, which means theres alot more where these came from. of course i didnt get any. and they were swimming around quite calmly but i thought, this just SUCKS!....thats all, im done venting.
oh ya, i took some pics with my cell phone. thanks for listening:(

They are bp's that have their tails CUT OFF. Just to make sure they don't grow back, the peduncle (base of tail) is partially cut. So sad......Oh but it's SO CUTE FOR VALENTINE'S DAY!! Freaking losers.......
 
that is sad, poor things, and who knows how long they live after having the stress up being cut, and transported ect. poor things!
 
I feel bad for those fish, and for unsuspecting people who don't know the background of how these fish are manipulated.
