Is it true....?

that mixed fruit tetras are shot up with dye to make the colors that they are?

 

[wrs]

yup. they are. sad ha? most people on here say not to buy them.

 

[cjmartin_72]

that is what I have been told too because they will lose their color after a while.

that is what I have been told too because they will lose their color after a while.

And because the process is barbaric.

To me the original, non dyed ones are much more glossier and brighter than any dyed ones. By the way, those fruit tetras are called white skirt tetras.... and you'd think for a reason too! But no.

from what ive seen if u fees ur fish right and keep the water clean the original non dyed ones look a lot better the color look deeper and there happer.

how would u like a massive needel stick into ur body and making u diff color?

not very nice huh

There's a pinned link in this forum about this topic: Dyed fish

White Skirt Tetras are beautiful, hardy fish. Someone had posted a picture on the forums a while back of one catching the light so that it sparkled exactly like a diamond tetra.

HA! I thought it was your picture snowy, but I didn't want to guess and be wrong. Beautiful fish and great photo!!

 

[cjmartin_72]

when I had heard how they got their color, I felt sorry for them and angry at the people who did it to them.
