Are These Fish Dyed?

[Hawkins]

I have no idea if these are dyed or not, they look it though!

Spotted albino gourami
I thought "albino's" were supposed to have no pigment colour?

Green parrotfish
I saw these on a different website, but weren't sure if it was just a photoshopped image, or if they were dyed, or if they were real!

Pink headed parrot
The colouration doesn't look real to me, and I think parrotfish are the most commonly dyed fish.. ?


Are they real!? W,T,F is this website about?

eeuuwww

that looks like a evil alien being

 

[saz326]

even worse - the gourami is tatoo'd. I cant imagine tatooing fishies for a living.

Stupid importer substituted some fish in an order for those dyed parrots at my lfs .

Been substituting fish all over the place, which I find interesting when they send something uncommon like Chela sp. or some unidentified rasboras...but dyed parrots are just evil.

Not only deformed man-made fish, but also with sickly colours cruelly injected into them.

I don't see the attraction.. they kinda look as though they are struggling or dying because they can't close their mouths.

1. Put fish in acid to remove slimecoat.
2. Inject all fish with the same needle of dye.
3. ???
4. Profit!!!

Thing is, I've yet to actually meet or even hear of someone (other than the producers) that would approve of this process.

Most people either think they are fed food containing dye, or that the fish are just bred for the colours.

It's a real shame.

Replace "???" with "hope they live"!
That makes me SO MAD. The fish deserve better than to be stuck in acid, then stuck with needles! How horrible!
(I hate needles)

The pinned thread at the top explains it quite well.
