| Painted Glass Fish and Other Questionable Practices???? | |
highjinx![]() Hobbyist Posts: 108 Kudos: 96 Votes: 2 Registered: 16-Jul-2004 ![]() | I stopped in to my fav LPS... and saw some awesome looking tetras. They were painted glass tetras. Now I thought nothing of the name till I was looking for a picture online to show my wife what they looked like, this was the first address I came across: http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art7686.asp Are these fish really man made??? If so, should I not even consider buying these fish, which sucks cause I was thinking about a dozen would make a real cool school in a 55 gal aquarium. But if you all feel strongly against these fish I will steer clear! I don't wanna have to worry about diseased fish ![]() Last edited by Callatya at 05-Feb-2005 23:31 |
