I just recently really got back into the hobby, I moved here to Vegas about a year ago and the majority of my fish didn't make it, except my syno cat and my pleco.
So I went to this place here in Las Vegas F.I.S.H, because people on another forum said it was probably the best in the city. So I look through their SW fish, they look healthy (which is a surprise at least IME here).
Then I head to the FW section and the first thing I see is a tank full of Parrots. I immediately saw some dyed ones, and then I look and see what appears to be scratches on all of the fish. I then look below the tank for the prices and I see what appears to say "I<3U/ILoveYou" fish $12.99. I immediately thought wtf, there was nothing on there for a Parrot or even "Painted" fish. So I took a closer look at the fish and realized that they weren't scratches, but rather dye. Someone had dyed the words "I<3U" and "I Love You" on the all of the parrots in the tank.
It just shocks me that people would even do that. I mean I thought the dying of the parrots and the painting of the glass fish was bad, but to combine them both to create some frankenstein of fish abuse?
