I'm sorry, I didn't realize that we could have multiple accounts here, and sell on the open forum without a vendor account. I must have missed that in the MFK TOS.
But putting all that side, how ignorant do you reckon people here are to believe that one has to keep a red (or orange) fish under a red NAN style light to maintain its color? If you maintain a fish under that type of light to make it appear blood red, when really it's not, then yes, I agree, you better keep them under a red NAN light.
And posting a photo of that male is hardly a fair representive of what your fish look like as a group, under normal lighting. I've seen pics of a number of the fish that you have imported, most look orangish/pinkish and are somewhat washed out. Some of those fish can be seen in the following link, and other links on FH forums for anyone who spends a bit of time on google.

Take the NAN light away and what do you really have?
Using NAN lights is fine for personal viewing, if that's your thing, but IMHO the minute that you enter the vendor arena, and begin importing multiple fish with the goal of selling them to make a profit, the responsible thing to do would be to show your fish under natural, honest lighting, not something that makes the fish look better than they truly are. This is a trick used to fool many hobbyists by vendors who sell exotic fish in SE Asia.
But hey, that's just me.
