Tattooed Osphronemus gourami

[Synirr]

I love love LOVE giant gouramis, but was disappointed at what I found on Aquabid today... It makes me really angry that anyone would do something like this to such an amazing fish

That's slack!


That pisses me off too. It only causes pain and a shorter, more stressful life for the poor fellows...

Poor things, the one with the pink spots looks aweful- such a waste and lack of appreiciation over an already beautiful fish .

That is terrible!!!!! Can we pin them down and do the same to them I swear, some people should never be allowed within a mile of another living thing.

Well you never know tttnjfttt, they might would enjoy a tattoo...

But maybe if we enlarged the needle to fit the scale, they would see our point...

you posted while I posted... Good Idea tho. didn't see it lol, gotta love the internet!

Don't forget, the thing chemical bath that strips them of their slime coat...do you think that would be similar to a chemical that disloves their skin

I'm lost for (decent) words.

The Tattooist that performed that should have his license taken away and IMHO, his tackle too.

THEY DO THAT!!!!!!!! I had no idea! now I REALLY hate that! I can't believe they would remove their coat!

I have a feeling no self-respecting tattoo artist would do that. Definitely the work of a fish-dyer

I can't find an article on this right now, but from what I've heard, dyed fish are first put into a chemical that removes their slime coat, then died (typo - dyed), then throwin into anothre chemical to stimulate their slime coat. I know someone was writing a paper on this a little while ago, check out their research

i feel sick after reading that analogy. i can feel it now. That's terrible.


Where can we get a petition to make dying illegal. I would like to send one to the department of natural resources here in south carolina.
