Glow Fish

Moments before taking that leap of faith into the pond Adam at
was heard opining:

I just feel bad for the glowlights because they are sterile

====================================
Nothing wrong with that - they can play and not pay! :-))

I have a pair of celestials and they seem to be blind. They do get
around their tank fine and know when the food is dropped in. I
keep them with a few platies that they compete with very well. I
personally don't think it's such a great idea breeding fish so far
from the norm, but these don't seem to be that negatively effected
by the eye deformity. --

I agree with you 100% I don't know if you remember the bubble eye
goldfish I seen at petsmart who's bubble was popped, it was having a
hard time swimming and it does not grow back so he will have problems
until he gets used to it I guess. another thing breeders are doing is
breeding different fish together there are some cichlids that are
breed from two other fish and don't do well or live quite as long as
others. Nik
==================
I have one with a popped bubble. I was considering popping the other side
so she's better balanced. I know of the parrot cichlid that's some kind of
cross but think they're deformed and quite ugly.

yes they were the ones I was talking about, before finding out I ask the
place I go that breeds cichlids about them and they said no way don't carry
them or ever have them for that reason, which after coming home and reading
and getting info, I agree about the parrot cichlid, decided did not want
one, as to not add to the problem
About the bubble GF, mine is still at the store being treated I will pick up
this week so I been doing some investigating and I think I will do the same
thing, pop the other side for balance.

After watching these fancy GF with such deformed eyes, I've decided not to
breed them but allow them to cross with normal GF if I do put them outside.
The fry should have normal eyes but the same cute fancy bodies. I always
have a market for nice healthy GF. You don't realize how disadvantaged they
are until you buy them and see them everyday. These are my first celestials
and bubble-eyes. The celestials are the most disadvantaged.

I remember a woman who was breeding bulldogs back in the 1960s. When she
realized the problems the facial deformity caused so many of these dogs, she
became very angry and stopped breeding them. As vocal as she became about
breeding such things into our pets - she was ignored. Once a breed or type
is out there and sells, there will always be people to cash in.........

Hi..

I checked out these pages and all I can say is . . .

Right, this is no nocturnal fish. Why should it glow or be
kept in the dark?

but I
won't because we've been seeing enough bad language in the
fish groups lately.
