Agreed!! That's just wrong! I had to explain to my 11 year old daughter why something she thought was so cool was wrong. And once she knew how the neon glow fish got their color, she was sad.
Atleast that dog looks like an arcanine lol.
Arcanine I choose you !
Anyway, that's sick. Glass fish are my favorite fish and I hate seeing them like that. There great fish and totally unique on there on. I mean there freaking see through, why would you want to add color on those !?! Even though there not dyed, I still think its pathictic to mess with nature like that. The only thing worse is the tattooed fish
Wow, I thought it was like the glow fish. I saw a post on parrot fish like this the other day. It's really sadPainted Glass fish ARE dyed. It's just the glofish (glo-zebra danios, glo-tiger barbs, etc.) that are only genetically modified. The dying and genetic modification IMO is just to catch the eye of people who don't know much about the whole thing. They see them and say "ooh, those are colorful," and buy some. Because hey, if you don't know what actually goes on, they DO look kinda cool. The process that goes on to make them look that way, however, downs the "cool factor" quite a bit.
