Green tiger barbs?

[furfinsfeathers]

I thought green tiger barbs were a naturally occurring strain, but just saw a pic of them in an article on dyed and tatooed fish. Anyone know which is correct?

No this is a natural colour morph that is selectively bred. If they were dyed the colour would fade over time like glassfish.

green tiger barbs will have a dark green irridescent color to them, whereas dyed tiger barbs will be flourescent green.

Although they may exist, I have never seen a dyed green tiger barb.

They take albino tigers and dye them with fluorescent colors.

I don't think they take green tigers and dye them with green.
