Dyed Or Not

Before I consider buying these

Are these fish coloured/ dyed ?

 

[TerraDreamer]

Yep, those are dyed.

Did you happen to find these on E-bay?

There is a post here today that shows these fish, and they are dyed!

 

[steve_m]

There from a far east exporter

I wouldn't buy them...they are dyed and IMO look terrible.

 

[steve_m]

i really like them. But the fact that there coloured put an end to that

Shame

Ive just read a past post and they are dipped.

wow, yes, dyed. The only fish with very bright colors are glotlite tetras which are genetically altered (not much better in my opinion), but all others that come in some of those shades are most def dyed. If in doubt whether a fish is dyed or not, dont buy the fish because you might just be supporting a cruel practice that needs to stop

What dye is used to do this?

I have some friends that would look good in blue!!

I have some mates who have hair that colour... one of them with blue spikes attracts a lot off attention from my blue turq discus - lol!!!!

The color fades.. If you like parrot cichlids just get a regular one, their color wont fade.

aren't those Jelly Bean Parrots? Anywho, yes they are dyed, most fish that come in bold rainbow colors are usually dyed.
