to add to the above post.... (of course this applies to injected and dipped fish. the oscars are fed dye laced foods)
100 fish are to be dyed.
60 will dye from stress soon after the dyeing process.
20 more will die withing a week
10 will die from an easily curable disease such as ich within 3
5 more will die withing a month
out of the remaining 5, 3 will die withing 6 months, and 1 will die within a year.
the remining fish will be stunted, sickly, and miserable. the paint will be long-faded, and it will only live about 5 years at max (refering to dyed parrots) out of the expected 15-20
