As a webmaster most website admins will not put Off the Net(Forumally said as off the street) people who make things on thier site. It usually has to be part of thier staff that makes them! So do not feel offended!

If you had an albino fish and gave it food containing natural dyes, would it not change colour? i.e., like flamingos do.

Anyway, I'm off to get some bleach and tie dye my goldfish

no, it wouldn't. and even if it did, the process is infinitely slow and could not be commercialized.

might i also suggest that next time you conduct some minimal research into claimed cruelty before making crude jokes?

I actually have one of these hybrid fish. Now don't all start shouting at me, i took him/her from a bad situation, it was actually a pet shop that had left it sitting in a corner gradually getting more and more covered in ick.
I told them i'd take him for free seeing as they'd left him to get so ill. I couldn't even really call it a pet store, more a pet stall, and i have reported the place to the people that need to know.
I've treated the little fella ( who is un naturally bright pink with black fins) and he's healed well and turned out to be a right cheeky chappy, he's now living with the blood parrot(who is a natural, or as natural as a blood parrot can be salmony /ornage colour) and getting on fine. He's grown a bit but i don't think he will grow any more, theres the odd sqabble but they get along with my neons, yes neon tetras, phantoms red and black, angels and cory, plus 2 powder blue gouramis.
Just because i have one of these fish does not under any circumstances mean i agree with how they dye them, by needle or dip, i am so totally against it.
What i'm trying to get across is, maybe the reason he was in the state he was in, and nobody had actually wanted to purchase him was because of people like yourselves making known the way these fish are so badly treated. So keep doing what you are doing, it's working, sales of jelly bean (i think they are called that) are dropping, i hardly ever see any in fish stores anymore, and thats fantastic, by making people aware of how they are dyed it's stopping sales of them, which hopefully will stop production of these fish, and maybe next year when there are new baby parrots, they won't go through the same pain their forebears have.

In no way do I agree with the dyeing of fish. I agree with everyone on here that it is both cruel and unneccessary behaviour towards a living creature. But, as someone else said, it is not the fish that as fault. I'd quite happily buy a hybrid/dyed fish simply for the reasons as again people have said here, they are not being bought.
Why should I be sitting back and let an innocent creature who has been through the hardship of being injected by a needle to rot and die in the harsh conditions of which some fish shops keep their fish and not experience any type of "love" or good care?

It's the same as Hybrids, it really irritates me to think that people won't take on these fish to give them the life they deserve. I could compare it on the same level as going to adopt a child and ignoring those with a deformity/illness. They still need brought up and cared for, but no, people want perfection instead of "inbred fish" and dyed fish.

We all go on about how fish have feelings and are living beings like us, and ask how would we feel if we were treated as fish are but in reality, some alienate those fish who have went through the most horrible things instead of actually giving them a chance in their life however shortened it may be through dyeing/inbreeding.

Fish are commodities. Buying fish from a store just tells the store to keep them in stock because that type of fish gets sold. The "rescue" attitude only works if it's a small Mom-and-Pop kind of store and you're the only person doing the buying.

Anytime you purchase a fish from a situation that you find morally reprehensible, your money endorses that condition and thus you help sustain it. If you really want to demonstrate to stores that it is not to their advantage to overstock, to sell sick fish, to stock dyed fish, to keep bettas in a half-cup of dirty water... then you need to demonstrate that these conditions are not profitable. Because so long as something is profitable, stores will continue to do it. (It's called capitalism and the free market.)

So these are essentially your options when it comes to stopping retail cruelty:
--don't buy abused fish and don't shop at establishments that abuse fish
--get lawmakers to regulate against fish abuse
--"liberate" abused fish with a team of elite guerrilla commandos
--spread the word about cruelty and rile up public sentiment against it

Yes, Pica, I do understand these reasonings for not buying that sort of fish and I do agree, but I just don't think its very fair.
