you know stores wont stop selling them. Did you read about big Al's? They said that they werent going to stop selling them because of how popular they are. Unless it becomes illegal, i dont think that it will be stoped.

I do think its wrong, but you shouldnt pick one someone because they buy them.

Thats the point. Try to raise awareness to reduce the popularity. Better still, make the government pass a law to declare dyed fishes illegal.

P.T.

there are so many governments were these fish are sold. And do you really think that they care? I know George Bush wont care. All he cares about is getting revenge on Iraq because they wanted to kill his dad. I dont know about other governments, but the one that rans my counrty wont care.

Well, whether the fish are dyed or not you have them now so congratulations.

I am not going to go off on one, I just hope that people do not follow your example and it worries me that nibbles and others think that it is ok to dye fish and would buy them.

This is very bad news considering the effort being made to stop the barbaric process.

I would never, never, never buy a dyed fish. Nor do I buy any goods from a shop that are happy to sell dyed fish. If it was either I take it or it die, I would take it of course but please do not think you are doing the fish a favour by buying them. You are not, you are simply showing that people want them dyed and basically ensuring that more are dyed to meet the demand.

Nice fish, I hope you enjoy them and that they are healthy and happy. I just worry that they will already be unhealthy from the process and also that your tank is too small for them.

Sorry, I really do hope you enjoy them (but avoid doing it again).

I think stores will stop carring them if people stop buying them.

I know Petco and Petsmart don't sell dyed fish. I don't see them losing any business from not selling them.

 

[wrs]

even though I know what i said, I wont buy them.

I do have a question though

why would someone buy a fish that is so tackey?

WOW, You guys have been busy.

Nah, Never Gonna Get Dyed Fish Again.

I just really Liked these Fish and have being Pondering them for Ages.

I knew they would get this reaction, but I still wanted to show How Beuatiful They are to me.

It's Never gonna Be a subject that will recieve a good reception on any Fish Forum, I just hope I give them a good home After the Process they have gone through to get their Coloration.

Thanks for all Your Comments on the Subject Be they Positive/Negative. Lets Hope that this experience will Educate more and more Ppl NOT to Encourage this Practice. Some good should come out of this.

Yeah, only in the reaction you got from fellow fish-keepers. I don't think you did anything to discourage others from doing as you did and even if you did it would be meaningless.

Sorry JMO.

Good luck with them psgill00.

 

[nibbles]

pennies to breed? i dont think so.. feeding them alone is more than ''pennies''

''cause ppl like me exist''

 

[Ron]

nibbles...I just have 1 quetion for you...


















...do you even know what a dyed fish is? From reading your posts I'm going to guess you don't. And if you know nothing about them, leave this thread...

 

[nibbles]

[Cheese Specialist]

lmao u dont think i know what a dyed fish is ahahahaha

Yet you still think it is ok...

Hmmmmm and you are laughing, we are living in hope that you actually don't have a clue what you are talking about and so your opinions can be excused as ignorance.

Oh, you don't get it?

Very well, i shall get more in depth. The fish don't die immediately after getting dyed. They die at the lfs and in people's aquariums. So since there are people like you, who think it is alright to buy dyed fish, there is a demand. So the lfs orders it from the 'manufacturers', thus they don't lose money.

Dyeing a fish isn't like dyeing your hair.
