It's disgusting isn't it? It's not new either, when I was a kid I remember seeing glass fish with bright colours injected into them. Nowadays you can even get albino clawed frogs that are dyed different colours. We don't see them that much in the UK anymore for some reason, maybe the shops were struggling to sell them before they died?
 
This is the first I've ever seen of anything like this. How terrible to even think about :(

It reminds me of the cats in vases in china or japan. :,(((
 
They dip them in acid before they dye them:((( its so awful

That's so horrible! I mean selective breeding for pretty colors is one thing but tattoos?!!? That's a freaking live fish not a doll! That is a total discussed to me. The fact that people are willing to do that for money or any other reason irritates me. That is just plane cruel! Who sells these?!
 
Mainly other countries, like japan and china, but it is seen in American stores too:'(

People are stupid, this is just as "awesome" as those painted glass fish :rolleyes:
 
Well, i've been both burnt and tattooed and i can confirm that they both hurt so i still think burning or tattooing defenceless creatures for amusement sucks.
I'd also questtion the intellegance of anyone who finds a dying fish with a word written on it so fantastic.

Just my 2 cents worth...

Stupid people! Yah, it looks cool, but it cant be healthy! Seriously, I wouldn't be able to hold my temper if I had a Instagram, these things would drive me crazy and with people being so stubborn it would just kill me. Stupid, just stupid..........
 
Omg, not Axolotls too.

This is why I stay away from things like instagram... I've seen things like this before where the fish are dyed or tattooed or etc and it's just...

It's done by people/corporations in the mindset that fish (and in this case Axolotls) are objects for our amusement and not living, breathing animals. And that's what drives me nuts.
 
I really hope the axie pic is edited and that has not really happened. I know the tattooed fish are unfortunately very real, but axolotls? Really?:mad:
 
Its not edited, they have pics of the big tubs that they dye them in: (

Just thought I should point out that the cats in vases thing is actually fake. I don't remember the details of the background story 100% but I believe it was a group of college kids that made it up as a morbid joke and word of mouth online turned it into "legit internet facts".
 
I seriously hope it was just some sick joke that got out of hand.

Just look at the things people do to make a buck. I wouldn't doubt it has been tried. :(

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
