Dyed parrots ???
Even worse again,,, fish tattooing, I've seen it on G.gourami named crystal reds.
Plenty of awsome looking colors that mother nature has given nature and us already, why do these things, I don't understand.
Ridiculous novelty and complete lack of respect for fish.
But in defense of any shop,, sometimes these fish can be purchased without realising or knowing that the fish has been processed.
Example,,,, crystal red G.gourami, sounds good, let's try it, it should sell,,, and not even know its been tattooed.
Once the fish is received, and possibly realized, what do you do, kill them because someone did this to them ?,,, not fair on the fish.
Deciding to still sell them isn't supporting the act, only if more were purchased by the shop, then it's being supported.
Just my thoughts,,, I have no knowledge of the apparent local ones.
