	Painted Fish
Mike R Fish Addict Posts: 593 Kudos: 830 Votes: 322 Registered: 27-Jul-2004	Mine carries them once in a while. I give them some quiet crap about it. Things like, "Do you tell the people that buy them that if the thing survives the color will fade? or I see you got some tortured temorarily green tetras." They don't like it much but they still bring them in now and again. Mike

Posts: 2266 Kudos: 2194 Votes: 19 Registered: 18-Nov-2003	My LFS doesn't carry painted fish I've seen them occasionally at LCS's and such, but I never buy my fish there, anyway. Most places that carry painted fish are places I would NEVER buy fish from in the first place! ~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~

We only like naturally beautiful fish, and we never order even hybrid monstrosities such as parrot cichlids and flowerhorns. I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

whetu Mega Fish Posts: 900 Votes: 63 Registered: 31-Jan-2003	There was no option where your LFS doesn't carry painted fish I've never seen a painted fish in either of my LFSs. We don't have chain pet stores here and the LFSs I go to are two of the biggest in the country. I wonder if anyone in New Zealand has seen painted fish? I only saw them for the first time when I visited the US.

I mean, I don't support it myself, and won't buy them, but the guy was my 5th grade science teacher, he gives me discounts, I'm not gonna complain at all that he carries painted glass fish. That's all, everything else is natural and he has an amazing selection of fish there. The real reason I think it's fine is because of the fact I know him, if I didn't, of course I'd make something of it. Last edited by gnr4ever8794 at 17-Feb-2005 15:54
