My New Parrots

[Vip]

your right it is our opinion and 99% of the forum can back me on it that if there left in the fish shop then they will stop selling them, i would rather leave them.

 

[tear-scar]

Anyway, psgill has a right to show the fish. No one has the right to force the removal of a pic posted in its proper place.

Vips point is though, and I agree, is that despite how you might feel about the "poor fish in the shop tank," point is, that buying the fish just encourages the mass production of more of those fish. Though it's probably impossible to stop the sale of all dyed fish, (too many young and ignorant fish keepers) it may be possible to nip this parrot trend in the bud. After all, young and ignorant fish keepers are less likely to be able to accomidate this fish than a dyed tetra or cory.

i didn't know they were Painted... at our pet store we have blue and pink one's

Let me ask this, if her two fish have babies will they have that blue color in them or the real color of the fish

 

[Vip]

Nopers they wont, even these ones loose there color and 80% of them die. Have you seen them when they loose there color? they look like burnt paint its like when paint on a wall peels off.

 

[nibbles]

80% dont die.. i can almost guarantee u that right now..

how could anyone afford to breed the fish if 80% of them die..

all those death by dying things arent true..

they would be losing money dying fish if 80% of them died..

and really..

a lfs never heard of un-dyed parrts, thats a new one, i really think you should take these pics down not only are they Disgusting but after everything you read about them from peoples experiance you go ahead and buy them, some people, go figure.

is out of line.

and what are these ppls experiences u talk about..

those poor fish are being tortured by psgill.. they look so unhappy (sarcasm)

i have never bought a dyed fish.. not cause i think dying is wrong.. i jus never have.. but these cool pics make me consider buying them.

i stand behind psgill 100%.

Hey.

I ain't no girl. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL, Whenever someone posts a Pic of a Contravercial fish it will always get a reaction.

I ain't Bothered.

I like these Fish and it was Silvers Parrot, that inspired me to look out for them.

I know the Dyeing Process is stressful and has a high Mortality Rate. And that these fish are they offspring of Hybridisation(sp). But, These Fish Have Been Created for the Hobby and will Continue to be on Sale and be Bought.

At Least I Know what these fish are and what to expect from them. They are going to get nice and big If I care for them Correctly, and they have got Great Personalities. I always Enjoy looking at the Parrot Display tank @ Work.

They are a vey Comical looking fish and Add something very Diffrerent to the Tank.

It will only continue so long as people like yourself keep supporting it.With so many naturally beautiful fish to choose from it's hard for me to understand why anyone would go out of their way get dyed fish.Poor defenseless fishies

Better believe it. I think that if you had your epidermis burned off, and were dipped in dye, you would die to. Especially if you weren't taken care of properly after it happens. They can afford to keep selling them because they cost penny's to breed, and they are sold to ignorant fish keepers for outrageous prices(for what they are).
By the way, do you know that your profile states you to be 99 years old (maybe it's true) ?

I would think a cat with it's hind legs amputated would move in a very comical way, in fact, If it wasn't for the facial expressions, I would think it was enjoying it. Good thing fish have facial expressions so we can all see that they love having deformed mouths and irregular swim bladders.

By the way Psgill00, Those are very nice picures, I only wish mine would come out so bright and clear.

I could guarantee you its true.

1 very simple reason. People like you exist.

Ok, im going to stay out of the whole 'dying is bad' argument. All i have to say is that those fish are beautiful and the tank looks really nice! They may be dyed but at least they have a nice home and they'll obviously be well looked after. I dont think its fair to attack someone for the choice of fish they buy, and its awful to say that someone shouldn't post pictures of their fish! Everyone has a right to put pictures of their fish on this board, thats what it's for isn't it?!

Psgill00 - I like your fish!! Post more pictures!

[nutter]

They are great pictures but be fair, she didnt know they were dyed fish...

 

[Phantom Thief]

They are very small and Cute. I would have got Un-Dyed, but LFS Has never seen any.

I think she/he did.

P.T.

 

[nutter]

) EDIT, question was answerd

Thanks PT, i would never ever buy dyed fish if i knew they were dyed, its evil imo

 

[wrs]

ah, well I do have something to say on this issue.

Yes its wrong to dye the fish. But if you dont buy them someone else will. and that person could be unexperianced and stick them in a 1 gallon tank and never look after them. Then when they loose theyre color flush them. Theyre are so popular that they wont stop dying them.

I dont think its evil to buy these died fish and give them a good home. Dont you think theyre deserve it after what happened to them?

Ive never bought any died fish, nor will I, but I just think they should have a good home, and be treated kindly.

i didn't know they were Painted... at our pet store we have blue and pink one's

Let me ask this, if her two fish have babies will they have that blue color in them or the real color of the fish

The colour will be normal coloration of blood parrots.

And wrs, isnt it better to stop it altogether? You can't stop it if you buy it 'to give it a better home' . That doesnt work.
