okay so im at the lfs getting some fish food and i started browsing there tanks. in one of there affrican tanks there selling albiones injected with dye. not only that but there only 3.99 where as the othere africans range from 5-15 dollors

(exuse my spelling)
 
they are called tatoo cichlid, dyed cichlis or painted cichlids. they are usually stunted and will never grow to full potential. also, usually never live long lives.
 
I think its sick to do that to your fish. Dont buy them and dont suport it. A fish store by me has one with the Yankees insignia on it. SICK!!!
 
they always look sick and they dye...great if you are running an half a**ed store and want to make a quick buck by having noobs buy fish over and over again. Image what it would sound like in a fish store if they could scream????

I agree the natural brothers and sisters will always look much better

I feel sorry for those fish.. blueberry oscars,,, etc.. terrible that we cannot appreciate things for the natural way they are.. i was given ballon rams .. another messed up fish.. pretty but did not live long..sad!
