I did not make this, I don't know who did. I would make my own but a friend gave me his PS7 CD after he got CS. Well I lost the CD before I installed it, and I have Fireworks but I don't know how to use it. But those stats are a bit off. They should say UP to 80% died. I can dig through google again and find were these stats are. And if you buy dyed fish your a idiot because the dye will fade in a few months. No I'm not some PETA hippie. I LOVE TO EAT MEAT!!!!!! I don't know about the 97% thing, but I would say its more about 80% Some fish you can't really tell. Beside its cruel, some methods do not use needles, some are dipped in a caustic solution to remove their slime coat, then they are dipped in a dye and then dipped in a solution that irritates their skin to produce a slime coat.
where do you have proof of this?
I don't want to hijack this thread so just let it go.

all you;ve given me are anecdotal links, w/repeated 2nd hand misinformation
SHOW ME AN ARTICLE THAT PROVES THAT 90% OF ALL JELLY BEAN PARROTS DIE BEFORE THEY LOSE THEIR COLORING! (as stated from your links)
SHOW ME AN ARTICLE W/PICTURES OF YOUR CAUSTIC BATH!!!! (as stated from the above links)
SHOW ME ANY STUDY THAT DEMONSTRATES ANY INVESTIGATION INTO THE LIFE SPAN OF DYED VS. NON DYED FISH !!(as implied from the above)
i've sold and cared for, from the moment of arrival to the airport from the growers/exporters, to the moment of sale, and longer, thousands upon thousands of dyed and non dyed 'flavors' of all of the species that are dyed in the trade
they('painteds') are absolutely and unequivocably every bit as healthy, or sensitive, as their 'regular' counterparts
i've seen tens of cutomers w/jellybean parrots that have spawned repeatedly
do you know what a jellybean parrot is? :wink:
how many hundreds of any of those species have you, or any of the authors of those links. either sold or cared for, long term, or short term ?
you might want to look into joining peta :wink:
'
spreading sensationalist 'bubbehmeises' all over the internet about this hobby based on 2nd hand rantings and ravings of lunatics does the hobby nothing but a disservice,and all because of a group of misinformed people who need a cause wagon to jump onto
