    Oh my god, I really disagree with this practice. I would rather have a fish that's not so colourful but natural than dye injected. I saw some of those hot pink parots at a very well known chain fish store but I will not name names but I thought it diplorable for them to sell them here. I understand in some countries they practice this, as well as many other things I disagree with when it comes to animals but I feel being in North America we shouldn't be selling these fish...set an example and others shall follow, or like I like to say whisper can become a scream when many bann together. What else are humans willing to do that will affect our earth and the species on it????

    I was just going to mention the glow fish. Now this! Good grief. At least a tattoo will not spread to other fish in the wild. ::)

    Unlike tattoos on people which will always spread with age :)
