Bad enough some are bred in crazy ways they can't swim right, they get put in bowls and aquariums too small, and they get severly crowded at pet stores, but now they're dyed. I personally think they have wonderful colors and are great fish to begin with. This is the last fish I expected to see dyed.

Stormy Big Fish Posts: 357 Kudos: 606 Votes: 81 Registered: 13-Mar-2004	I have seen them being sold like that before from a couple of websites when I was searching for places online to buy fish from. Sadly, those few sites had "painted" this and "jelly bean" that ALL OVER THE PLACE! Almost any fish you could imagine had a "painted" variety! I was shocked and horrified! Needless to say, I left those sites without any purchasing, but sad to say, it is no joke and is not a fixed picture. Poor fish!
