Coloured Widows?

[Fishy Mishy]

I have just been to my LFS and saw a tankful of the most beautiful fish. I asked what they were and the LFS keeper said Coloured Widows. They are very delicate fish which are silverly coloured with a stripe of blue or pink at the top and flowing fins.

Any ideas?

These are almost certainly dyed fish, a very cruel practice that results in high mortality and serious health problems for the survivors. Paint is injected by needle, a painful and stressful procedure which often leads to tumours and other serious illnesses. There is a campaign to ban the sale of dyed fish in this country. I would not personally shop from a store that sold dyed fish- and I would let them know why!

Please do not buy any dyed fish and don't shop anywhere that stocks them

Sometimes called strawberry or blueberry tetra.. they are dyed white skirts. I've seen them in other colors more recently too.
