Opinions of BP

[ChilDawg]

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of BP (fish-wise, I love the show "Boston Public"), but I can't get into a lot of man-made malformity issues, unless they are obviously detrimental to the health of the fish, like a malformed swim bladder. (I own a Betta, so I can't really talk about "adjusted" fins.)

I guess people keep them, though, so if they know what they're buying, I can't really stop them from buying BPs. It's not like boycotting each and every store that sells them is an option--I could scarcely shop at LFS in the U.S.

Sorry, I'll cut back on the booze. It's not too healthy, anyway, I'm afraid.

And yet I forgot the most agonizingly annoying thing about that particular fish. That color isn't "natural" for a BP, is it?

Missed the forest for the trees, because dyeing fish is probably my number one pet peeve. That fish won't stay those colors for too long, so the unknowing person who buys it will get a likely-unhealthy, sterile, and soon-to-be-uncolored fish.

You also forgot to mention the fact that its missing something what could it be ummmmmmm an tail. One its a hybrid to it has been dyed three it has no tail for it cant close its mouth five it could bearly swim six it has a messed up swimming bladder must I continue to let you know how much I hate this fish???

 

[ChilDawg]

I didn't see the tail as there were too many other things to see. I guess that particular fish has a few too many problems.

why do you hate those fish?? its not their fault... hate the people, not the fish...

 

[ChilDawg]

Hey, I don't hate the fish. I would rescue them for free so as to give them a good retirement home. I wish people would stop creating them, though. As long as they do, I will continue to point out the mistakes made in creating these hybrids.

 

[GEV83]

Well I hate them for the reason there hybrids I see what your saying Kswiss and thats true but I dont know dont like them I wouldnt give them a retirement home either I dont got the tank space. Nah there cool just be better if they werent man made.

This thread's got another 5 posts until it takes off into a full blown argument...

 

[GEV83]

Why you say that. I dont see anyone getting mad. We just stating the facts.

A Blood Parrot thread spilling over into an argument? What are you talking about, Voodoo?
