i was just at my local pet store and saw these fish, the painted glass ones. I asked the clerk about them and he said they were part of the tetra family. Im like oh kool they are neat. So i come home to do a lil research on em cause im curious of these. Incase no one knows what im talking about here they are practicly see threw fish with neon stripes on there backs (pink, green, blue, orange, and yellow). Anyone know what im talking about??? Well im reading and searching and i come to find that there is alot, and i mean alot of contraversy on these fish??? I come to find out these fish are injected with dyes to make em look this way??? And ive found quite a few people claiming their injected fish get ill unexpectedly. and the ones at the pet store were not for sale do to a parasite the guy said. I was just wondering if anyone had any info on these fish so i can learn more. I would never buy one cause the injection thing seems so cruel even if i dont know anything about it it still seems wrong. So ya anyone have any opinions are anything here id apreciate it cause id like to learn more. Right now i am unsure of if these fish are tetras like the gentlemen said or catfish like ive been reading... one one hand i have the internet... which has its good and bad points.. and the petstore clerk which called me a liar when i mentioned that my betta was attacked by a sm black skirt tetra. SO yes anything would be great. even if its an opinion.
