Seen these advertised online as 'Colour Widow Tetras'

These things can't be bred to last surely.

Probably dyed! *mad*
That means they won't live full lives, and shouldn't be on sale in this country.

They are illegal here I believe. Horrible practise. I could rant all day about this and tattoed fish, so I'll leave it there!

Look up glo-fish, as that’s what they are. Artificially dyed fish which shouldn’t be sold and should be illegal in this country anyway!

And stupidly I just looked at them again and realised they now sell Bettas and sharks *grumbles*

First time I've ever heard of tattooed fish I'm shocked & disgusted.
