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

Dont buy them! they are dyed . In order to make one dozens will be killed. I think there is a website explaining it better

they are man made, the ppl who do this to them, inject the color into them and give them an acid bath, i'm am 100% against this practice, buying these fish would support the practice

Thank you all for your concerns. I will be addressing this issue with my LPS.
