Are they injected with paint ,dyed with paint, or hand painted??? I went to my LFS and saw them and was very mad. It is a very respected store though so I was confused. Are these fish injected with paint (Very painful and highly stressed) or are they handpainted??I saw this on a site I found on google. Any insight?
 
Hand painted.
 
Hmm...IS that harmless or do they have to ad a sleeping chemical to the water to "PAint" the fish that can harm them?Like clove oil?If this is harmless , I'm not against it anymore.

Regardless of how they get the fish to look those different colours, it's not natural!!! It still harms the fish in more ways than we can see, not to mention the whole procedure stresses the fish. Please don't support the sale of these poor fish because it just makes the sellers create more for their own personal greed! :mad2:
We're supposed to appreciate these fish for their natural look, not try to make them appear cosmetically appealing.
Just my 2 cents ;)
 
I agree with you^ But I was just curious and asking a question...
 
Painted Glassfish are injected with a needele. They say they feel no pain but really how can anyone know.

The issue also is they are put into a machine and hundreds of fish get injected with the same needele. This spreads disease.
 
Yea, It's just horrible that some people think that it's "cool" :(
