Are you sure they are not dyed? Many fish (Glassfish, Oscars, Tetras, Puffers, etc) have all been commercially dyed. What colors are they? You should post the site since everyone else has got to be wondering what color morphs too. I have only known of the standard color.
There the norm fushia and electric blue. LOL. Nah there not died its there tails one has red other is brown and then the rare albino.

I didn't know that three varieties were out there, but I personally could not get a red-tailed catfish with a brown tail or with albinism, as my family is a little too literal and the amount of ribbing which I would take would be a little high for my liking!
I was thinking about making a pond to get one but my step dad would be back there one day fishing. He would go catch and eat it. Sad part is im not kiding. He likes catfish hes had it before he was stationed out in South America and thats what they ate.

Amazingly, as the natives there do not appreciate red fish meat, that big fish is pretty much left alone...they must have found your stepdad to be pretty weird to enjoy such a feast!
Hes eaten iguana before he even eats liver raw. He is just savage when it comes to food. I want to get lobsters but he promissed me he would eat them. I cant get anything or he will eat it. One of my mom's friends want to eat her buttikoferi they were wondering when they were going to eat it and they were not joking.

A way to curb all this is get a fw or salwater puffer and that would solve that problem! No, just kidding. Every year approximatly 100 people die in Japan from eating puffer meat that was not cooked properly. Puffers are EXTREMELY toxic and even the most experienced cooks sometimes can't get all the toxin out. And one can't tell how much toxin is left till someone eats it. Eat and let learn I guess!
Its not so much they get out the poison you cant do that rather they cut out the parts that dont have poison and thats what you eat but if they do it wrong even the smallest amount of poison is deadly. I looked it up was curious about it several years back.

I was under the impression that the fugu puffer was served primarily raw, and the skill of the chef was in removing the meat without breaking the toxin sacs that reside within some internal organs?
Well true for the most part but it only has small bits ans peices that are edable. So they cut it open and pull the good parts out but yeah dont want to ruputre any sacs as well as leave any poisoness flesh on it either.

Would you really consider the brown tail a morph?? Maybe it's just a washed out red, or red that hasn't developed yet? I've never seen an albino; don't really want to (I'm not having great luck with albino species;), see 'tinfoil barbs as feeders')
Did I understand that a mod here suggested giving someone's stepdad a poisonous puffer:eek:
Pappy pukes poison puffer supper. Say it five times, fast:D

Judy, poisonous puffer is redundant! I am trying to say it five times fast, but the statement just comes out as: "It, five times fast." I don't know if the brown tail would breed true or if it is a morphological rxn to stress, so it will be interesting to see people weigh in.

Silly, it's easy - it, it, it, it, it.
And I'm NOT telling you my weight - how rude of you to suggest it:eek:

Hmm...weigh in on the issue? I don't want to actually take to a scale either! (I hope that you are just kidding, b/c otherwise I came off as a jerk by using the wrong choice of words!)

She's just trying to get someone to make her prove how slender she is so she can show off that bikini pic again... :) :)
I suppose we could suggest using mutant neons, eh? That'll stop the ol' step dad from playing around the tanks....
Anyone else hear the theme of 'Jaws' in the background?

OMG, I can't believe you remember that. There's a twist to that story I'll have to tell you sometime;)
Hey, I think I found GER1023's stepdad! I don't think he's even going to filet and cook it first:eek:

Just playing around aquaria! He was just trying to find a way to keep a fish that his stepdad wouldn't eat and that is definetly one of those that most people would stay away from. One could also keep Scats since once one finds out what the scientific name means they will forget about eating that fish! Anyway, not supposed to by hijacking! Sorry, just had to clear the air. Those are cool pictures of RTC's. I like the red tail the best, I have never been one for albino fish. Hey aquaria- Maybe you would have better luck with an albino RTC :D!
