fishkid99  Enthusiast Posts: 252 Kudos: 218 Votes: 39 Registered: 07-Dec-2005   | ok well here it goes. Ive got these two chichilids (spelling?  ) The dealer labels them as purple parrots. Is that just another name for a red head or is a purple parrot completely different?? thanksph :%) >>>---->  <----<<<pnh |

| inkodinkomalinko Fish Guru Posts: 2441 Kudos: 833 Registered: 18-Jan-2003 | Sorry, I dont really understand what you've said.. "Its pink and can be dyed to look pretty. its mouth is flat its has a fin running from near its eyes to its back fin." When you said its dyed to look pretty, does it mean it's dyed? If so, what color? What color is the fish? When you say the mouth is flat, do you mean the fish has a disc shaped mouth like a plat? I dont think any fish has a fin running from near it's eyes to the back fin...that would make the fish's fin about 2/3 it's body length? |

| fishkid99 Enthusiast Posts: 252 Kudos: 218 Votes: 39 Registered: 07-Dec-2005 | o sorry i said flat wrong i meant normal like a barb's mouth. Im prety shure he is dyed. the dealer told me they can be dyed. myn is pink and i think the original color is purple because he has a purple line on his forhead. >>>----> <----<<<pnh |

If yes, that is a DYED purple parrot fish. Dying fish is a cruel process, in the future, i'd refrain from buying or supporting dyed fish. |
