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?

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

Yup. Injected with a large guage needle (equivalent to using a pencil-sized nedle on a human). Dont support stores that stock any manipulated animals.

Good call sumthin. I printed some cheapy business cards with that site on it to give to LFS that sell these poor animals. There is a list of dyed fish on that site; it is so depressing.
