Yes they are injected with dye

No, there is no one to inform, write your local representative perhaps, and maybe management.

Dude you just tripple posted, See if any mods are on and one of em should be able to clean the others up for you

Trading standers my be an idea, as if they are not labled as dyed, then you could say they where selling without people knolage.

witch shop is it??

If it a Maidenhead Aquatics line, then they have a policy not to sell dyed fish, and you could complain to head office.

I'm still confussed about the black/purple Harliquins, will have to do a gOOOOOOOOOgle and see what that comes up with.

My lfs "PJ's Pet Centre" also sells the "dayglo tetras" which are also called "painted glass fish".

I usually gag whenever I see them.

I've talked to management and they are required, due to their Big Boss, to stock whatever all the other PJ's stock.

So i've taken personal action and I inform anyone who is standing by the tank/planning on purchasing them about the animal cruelty.

I finally found a local store that has Amano shrimp and they also have otos which are hard to find. I decided to look at what else they had before I had them bag them up for me. I saw that they had painted tetras (same thing, flourescent green, pink and yellow tops) and decided to not buy anything from them. I guess I'll have to keep hunting my shrimp.
