now I think thats just mean, they have been injecting fish for color for years and dying them to be more colorful. I'm glad to see it doesn't seem to hurt them though

And whatever happened to the time when people would breed fish for years and many generations to create new colors and fins and things, that was some dedication and talent. This is just cheating

They may not feel any pain but have you read the mortality rates of painted fish. they lose 90% before they even make it out of singapore. plus the dye they use fades out over a few months so it is pointless. this is the type of crap that pisses me off. totally unecessary and causes infection and death. the store owner is a money grubbing dumba** IMO...

ok, enough venting. may be rare from me but this is something that i don't see the point in.
