Here is a pic: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/RumFisk/Techno-fish.jpg The pic is very poor i know, but i had to use a mobilephone to snap the picture. Can anyone tell me anything about this fish? Last edited by ThunderBolt at 28-Dec-2005 10:23 Last edited by ThunderBolt at 28-Dec-2005 10:24

It is a very cruel and inhumane treatment with many fish dieing for each that lives. Please do not encourage this practice by buying any of these fish and voice your disapproval with the shop owners for even offering these fish for sale.
