Are Fruit Tetras dyed or natural?

Mrs. Burns said:
I took good care of my glass fish and he's fine. But I had a talk with one of the lfs's and they practically asked me to leave! I'll be going back to the lfs that told me these fruit tetras are natural. Before long, I'm going to have to drive hours just to get fish!!! LOL! I already have to drive 45 min to get them!

Well, why don't you remind us what size your tank is (you post a lot, but I can't remember everyone's tank size ;) ) and how you are currently stocked. Maybe we can recommend some pink fish for you? An LFS can often order them in if they don't carry them as part of their usual merchandise.

Just how pink is pink for you?

you could get pink kissing gouramis, but i wonder if you'll have to get another tank? i went to a new wal-mart and saw those poor things in there, i refused to buy ANYTHING out of there, most of the angelfish were rotting in their tanks and two black ones were still alive, even their cordyoras were sick and that just did it for me because at my local wal-mart even though tanks are severely overstocked lol the cory are always happy-erm healthy looking and swimming around. i bought a normal glass fish from Petsmart and it only eats bloodworms and even then rarely what do these fish eat? i googled them but just sites against colored ones came up with no helpful feeding information :help:
 
:p: oh little sorry hehe, ummm i'm guessing they'd be community fish soooo :read: wonder if bettas can be pink? i've had one like that afore, aha! pink convict cichlids, dono how common they are tho. all other pink fish i've seen when i googled are pink clown fish

Well a week or so ago i got a 2 blueberry tetras not knowing they are dyed fish!
Im really mad at my lfs for carrying these and soon I will be having a converstation with them to hopefully stop them from carrying these fish!


BUT Im glad that I at least gave them a nice home to carry out their lives in.

OFF TOPIC: Zeromason, what store do you go to?
 
My tank is 10 gallon with 2 guppies(male) 1 glass fish, one angelfish, and four ghost shrimp. I'll soon be moving my angelfish to a 20 gallon. I'm not sure if I'll move any of the others. But this is why I'm looking for something my daughter can call her own. We tried a betta. He looked pink at first. Now, he's pink, and purple and blue. She named him Danny, but he's not the one she wants. They change color. She is obsessed with pink. And mtiller, I feed my glass fish flakes and bloodworms. One night I caught him eating a small ghost shrimp. Oh, I just remembered they will eat fry mine ate a guppy fry when I brought him home.(I guess they threw him in there for him for the ride home.) Everyone here is so helpful and nice. Thanks!

cayes aquarium on 136th and Division.
very nice people, have been going their since i was pretty young, even before i started to keep my own tanks.
 
my experience with dyed fish is a blood parrot saying i love you on the side i got off my missus, and a silver shark that had flames up the side of it, we orderd in a lot of 150 sliver sharks and he was in there with them, (we soon changed breeder!!) i brought him home cos he looked sick, but i still have them both! (the SS is about a foot long!!!)
 
Nice small pink fish would be Rosy Barbs, they are very active swimmers and have rather docile personalities. As long as they are kept in groups of 6 or more, you won't have any problems with them though they are the biggest pigs (other than goldfish) when feeding time comes around.
