Okay now I'm on a mad hunt for Laser Cories! They are GORGEOUS!
Ahem, regarding dyed fish...the only ppl who seem to buy them here are young kids with non-fishy parents and the kids see the Whiteskirt Tetras in Neon Pink and Neon Blue (YUCK) and go "wow!". Personally I wish I could buy UN-dyed White Skirts, they look cool (and I love Blackskirts but never see them here). But dang if I'm buying dyed Whiteskirts and hoping they drop their colour and meanwhile the store goes, "Heck that batch sold well, let's buy more!"
More power to everyone who tries to stop cruelty to fish. They are not brightly coloured toys or ornaments and more people sure need to know it. That being said the average lfs employee, imho, only tends the fish, doesn't order them and hence has no power, authority, knowledge about dyed fish. Educating them is always worthwhile though.
