EDIT... GRRRRR can someone host my pics or tell me a place to host them? thanx... all pics are 640x480 and i cant attach them here :rolleyes:

Warning... we know some of our fish are dyed... we left another forum because they couldnt accept it. We dont need any lectures. Just enjoy and thanks for all of your positive input guys :)
 
there's a decent little free utility called irfanview that makes resizing pictures a fairly easy thing to do.

i dont think this board would run you out for having a painted fish. newbies usually get their advice from pet store employees before they come here for a second [and better] opinion. most animosity would be towards someone who advocated the dyeing of fish and felt like arguing it here. which would be a waste of time for all involved.

as a novice, i bought a green one who is now a much better shade of bright orange. it fell in love with another cichlid which i traded in so now its a little heart broken. it occasionally stops fights between other fish. he's like ,"guys, guys, break it up!"
Of all my fish, it has the thickest body/ most mass. so it can push a fish around when he wants to. but nobody gets hurt.

there is a forum just for blood parrots but i couldnt seem to get on it tonite.
 
ok.. found a host.. here they are :)

I bought the same Parrots for my tank. When I purchased them, I had no idea they were dyed. (what's a newbie to know).

Anyway, they're very smart fish, and will eventually lose their color, to a more natural orange color.
As far running you out of town.....I look at it this way....Where ever these fish come from, and whatever process they go through, they certainly deserve a good home.

Stopping the dye process would be a nice idea, but it would take a tremendous consumer effort to accomplish that.
 
i somewhat agree... i think fish and animals suffer every day, whether it be from slaughtering for us to eat, or even for experimentation.

a few more points were raised on this forum, one being that these fish werent meant to be in a glass aquarium their whole life.

i feel sorry for these fish, but i'm not going all out like PETA... sorry to those who just dont agree
 
nice tank - the only thing i wasn't crazy bout was that white coral looking thing - it's nice but looks like it's out of place in a FW tank -woul look better in SW


as for your fish - hey at least they have a nice home now ! they all look very nice
