Re: jelly bean parrot fish
Big problem where we are too, another problem is that the dyes leak back into the water.

I keep a successful community of fish in a 4 foot tank including the following families: Cichlids, tetras, loaches, gouramis, barbs, rainbows, livebearers, killiefish, catfish, puffers. |

Re: jelly bean parrot fish
Stores claim they stock them or they lose sales. I say if they stock naturally colored fish like killies, guppies, and cichlids they dont need these dyed fish. True nature always outdoes our creative torture.

Re: jelly bean parrot fish
Luckily dyed fish aren't sell where i live, never even seen one. Hope the stores won't stock them in the future either..

Re: jelly bean parrot fish
Jellybean parrotfish are picking up in stores around here. I think it is the springtime thinking that get people intrested in the pastel type colors.
