Came across this website. They've actually got the nerve to boast about dyeing fish. Even talk about having fish back to re-dye them because it wears off after three months.

These people obviously don't care about the welfare of fish at all, just selling them

Here's a quote from their website

Blueberry/Raspberry Oscars. You can also find blueberry and raspberry oscars upon occasion. Both these varieties are actually albino oscars colored with dye. The dye completely disappears within three months. You then have a regular albino oscar. (We wish we had invented the process and patented it. We’d open little shops around the country that would re-dye painted fish. For a nice price, of course.)

It certainly does seem to be that they condone the practice. I shall not be using that
website. I expect websites and fish shops to have signs up saying that they wouldnt sell dyed/painted
fish

This just goes with my suggestion at another thread - why don't we create a prominent space on this website on which we publish the names and the absolute negativity around this subject??? Its disgusting!

This is a good suggestion and whereas it is very tempting, setting up a witchhunt could damage our reputation. We are slowly building a good reputation I would like to think. I don't want people to start thinking that we are getting above ourselves trying to police all the online shops and websites. I mentioned that particular website because they were blatantly condoning dying. There isn't any excuse for performing such a cruel act on a fish and they can't really argue with what we said. By all means mentioned somebody if what they are suggesting, or doing is quite obviously cruel.

I personally will not take my business to shops and/or websites that sell painted or dyed fish. I feel there is nothing wrong
in mentioning shops/sites that sell these fish and then everyone can make there own mind up where they take the business

Ok, point taken - it makes sense not to endanger this site's reputation, but yes, I'll think of something Anyway, I did not even go to that site, which might be a good idea to do, because I can obviously find a contact number or e-mail or something there and let them have a good piece of my mind...
