	Dyed fish!
ghostfish Hobbyist Posts: 101 Kudos: 79 Votes: 4 Registered: 23-Nov-2004	All my local petshops are now stocking dyed fish! I have stoped buying fish from there because of this terrible trade. I don't know if the retailer knows they have dyed fish but I dont know wether to confront them about the dyed fish or not? I know them a bit but don't know what to do.

Ghostfish I'm sure there must be a good LFS somewhere near where you live. Last edited by PJ at 25-Nov-2004 00:09

This one store I frequent sells them and one of the few long time workers told me not to buy them. She told me all about the process, that only a few fish survive the process and emphasized that the colour runs out in three months anyway so it was pointless to get them. The only reason they had them was because a few people asked for them. I was shocked and disgusted. But they definitely know about the poor fish.
