Go to asia
it's big money!
I seen them tattoo a dragon fish before
remember thinking
what if it loses those scales
was a big fish too!
generally tho it's just barbs and stuff
Have to admit the tic tac toe games kinda looked funky
but yea cruel and evil or something
now everyone go back to their bottem trawled McFish burger
tis a crazy world
and painted fish (as opposed to injected.... or yea not opposed but...) are
really small fish
ya want a concern?
try the fact many Asian countrys are now fishing their rivers dry with
electric prods
very full on

tropical fish painting/dyeing.

I first heard of this practice from this group and I subsequently brought
it up on another group (a.f.u.) where it has been questioned as ever
happening. me response was this:

================[quote]=================
If it is a UL there are a lot of people and organizations that have bought
into it and a incredible amount of detailed information regarding it. Not
saying that makes it true but it certainly would make it the UL of the
Year:

The photos of the fish are rather convincing, yet for all the hoopla over
this practice I can find no painted tropical fish for sale anywhere. I
tend
to believe it may have been done but is not as widespread a practice as
the
above sites (and others) would make one believe. Or maybe the practice
was
much more prevalent and the uproar such as above helped curtail it.

Any information on how this practice got started, how prevalent it is, and
who is still doing it would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
