Those are awesome! I worked at a petstore where we sold those, but they weren’t charaters, they just had a patch of scales colored, and they were gouramis, not cichlids like those.

It’s just a pity the tats tend to fade…unless they’re doing something different with these.

Amazing fish! Though I have to wonder how long they live. I’ve heard such dying and tattooing can be traumatizing physically for the fish.

Nice? If you know the process of tattooing the fish you may think twice. This is animal abuse in plain sight and people call them cute? This is akin to skinning an animal and spraying it with paint then putting on display for people to purchase. Wanna peel your skin off and get paint sprayed on you?

Why you don’t buy a big string and kill yourself !!!
RESPECT for all and for animals that cannot speak to you…
If you buy this kind of fish… you are an IDIOT !!!

Are you serious? They can’t actually be tattooed, not when one knows the fundamentals of tattooing. I doubt these fish have been hurt. They could never survive the needles let a lone the vibration of any tattoo machine, it’s electric . . .

Hmm… probably paint of some sort,as tattos,as Suzanne explained,would definitly kill the fish. I should say maybe waterproof ink? ( is there such thing? )

It’s horrible to know that people can allow this weirdness.
Buying these poor animals makes cruelty continue.

the “tattoo” goes away after like six months. it’s not even done with a needle.

the dye is a lot like henna “tattoos” but since it is under the scales, it can’t get rubbed off like henna does on our skin..

so all you uptight p.e.t.a assholes can shut up about it, and i have seen the parrotfish like “rosie” and they go on to live a normal life after the ink goes away.

they also do it to freshwater mollies when they are still young
(mollies have live babies, and they are quite small) how could a fish that small survive a real tattoo?

they are adorable. i have seen quite a few in my days at the pet store and i was in contact with the fish farms who did the “tattooing”

besides, i have seen people do ungodly things to their cats and dogs (removal of voiceboxes, declawing) to make life more convenient for the owner, i think THAT would be something to complain abut..

so go into a cat forum or blog and get on your damn soapbox
