i went to wal mart yesterday and saw "heart shaped" parrots selling for 15 bucks (valentines day item i'm guessing)... it was a parrot fish with its tail cut off... the tank had like 15 fish int here with their tails cut and some still had bones sticking out cuase it wasn;t a clean cut... i was like that is so cruel... cuase when i went to a petland they had a parrot with out its tail and it was a deformed parrot... i was like aww... and i thought the same thing here when i went to the walmart... but then i realized that all the fish had their tails removed... its so wrong to cut their tail.... walmart has poor quality fish... dont buy.. unless you feel sorry for the fish....
wtf is walmart thinking?

Explain to the store management why such trend is not tolerated. You have the right as a customer to voice your opinion.
Yup...for some reason it always seems that parrots get all the "experiments" done to them. Any time I see a mutalation or dye job, it always starts with parrots.
You should definitely call/write/talk to the store manager... for real. I'm positive if you point out what is going on, they will stop selling it... it is a pretty controversial subject, and Wal-Mart is already on the defensive with everything else they do, so you may be able to prevent it.
Oh, I hate it when I see those. And dyed fish... Bleh. It's just wrong. I hope people will stop buying them.
I have five fish that were given to us by a relative, but they seem more...natural. I had always wonder if they were actually parrots with their tails cut off, but their fins aren't as long and they aren't as round(sort of flat), and when we got them, they were black, but as they grew, their color had slowly changed from black to a pinkish grey, to pale orange, then finally a very reddish orange. Two of the five still have black spots on their heads. They are really fast swimmers and we had them even longer than the two parrots that are now in the same tank with them. Do you think they are actually parrots or a similar type of hybrid?
