	Painted KOI?!?!
Janna Mega Fish Posts: 1386 Registered: 24-Aug-2003	I saw these for sale in a local online classifieds thing. Are they painted? They certainly look like it... Janna attached this image: They shade the glow of it with their mossy-misty costumes, They wear masks of silk, porcelain, brass, and silver, So as not to mislead with their own, ordinary faces.

Too bad I know there will be buyers putting them in their 55 gallon somewhere ....they should take the time to tattoo care instructions on each fish while they're at it.

Too bad there will be a lot of people who have tattoos or knows someone with tattoos and figures if it alright for people, then it must be wonderful for fish. There are people who show their dogs in confirmation and if the dogs nose does not fill in completely black, they will get it tattooed in black. I know a woman who's bulldog's nose was missing due to an allergic reaction to the dye they used to tattoo it.
