Have a read of these about dyeing and the last one is when dyeing just isn't enough for them. Sickening.James B wrote:i know that dying any fish is cruel and inhumane but how does it affect them? and how can they do it?

That just makes me sick.. I've seen some in Walmart that I'm pretty sure have been injected or 'tattooed' and it makes me sad and angry. Fishies are naturally beautiful, so why would anyone want to put these little creatures thru this torture?Voila! Isn't it dazzling? This shows that fishes too need to spice up their lives with some colour!

Though that porc puff could easily have been dyed, he also could have been Photoshopped. Here's a great page on what disreputable sellers can do with Photoshop to make their animals look more exotic for sight-unseen sales (mail-order or over the Internet):
