It seems to be the white mollies, mostly. -------------------------------------------- The aquarist is one who must learn the ways of the biologist, the chemist, and the veterinarian.

Same thing with 'dyed' fish. If they tried this with dogs or cats, PETA, ASPCA, RSPCA ect would be all over them. ^_^
