Blood Parrots! I see them and I say, "Why?" They are deformed little fish that I always feel sorry for when I see them with their round bodies and gaping mouths.
Whats the one fish you really hate to see in the hobby?

Pacu, RTCs, piranhas, oscars, irridescent sharks, columbian sharks, large gars, violet gobies, a lot of marine fish.. Where I live there are so few dedicated keepers though. When walmart and petco are practically your only choice I guess that's to be expected. :/
I used to refuse to order RTCs, common plecos, oscars, pacu and the like. We got so many drop offs purchased at the other stores in such poor condition it was more like running a fish rescue than a LFS.

Eh, boston terriers have pretty bulgy eyes sometimes, and they have glowing cats and pigs now so dogs are probably not far behind, lol!
I guess I stand corrected but no dogs have it as bad as those God forsaken goldfish with what looks like boobs pushing in on their eyes and the Bostons I've seen don't have bulgy eyes as much as they have flat faces.Saterus;4702455; said:
Thankyou!! All these people who hate on blood parrots while they feed Toy poodles or Bulldogs.....or any dog other than a Dingo or African wild......Or how about our beef cattle, or chickens...or turkeys.....what about domestic pigs? All these creatures are the result of the same process as Blood Parrots....or any Koi for that matter.....Do you really think a Bulldog or a domestic chicken could make it in the wild?? welcome to the real world!Laticauda;4702378;4702378 said:
Chihuahua's are an ABOMINATION!
In all seriousness, there are some pretty dumb, and yes hindering things us humans have bred dogs for, examples: Longs hair over the eyes, short legs but crazy long hair so they are more like a mop, extremely short snouts, short tails (they are there for balance)...not to mention we "fix" our animals, snip there ears and tails, remove the voice box, De-Claw...Look at the dieases that certain breeds of dog are prone too, not to mention the diminished lifespan of larger breeds.
Now you may or may not participate in the above practices, but my point is they are all common practice. The sad truth is that the human race is going to alter and experiment with our "pets", and its mostly for our entertainment, we just got a later start with tropical fish.

But your also refraining from mentioning most of the canine breeds that are now extinct that where replaced by these domestic breeds, due mainly to villinization and erradication of the very animals we used to create our "domestic dogs". Not to mention every other domestic type animal we've poorly "specially bred" .. personally thats why I support maintaining natural species. I don't have anything against people wanting to keep these man-made abominations. But personally I would like to preserve species.. not create new ones. Natures artwork is imo far better then ours. Thus answering the question....Hybrids and Genetically altered species are what I hate most. Specifically the ones dyed and injected.. but includeing the X-breds.
