Dyed or genetically modified?

"If most stores think the pink zebra danios are GM why are they stocking them. After they have told the customer that is how they think they are produced do they still go on to sell them that to me is just encouraging them."

"I think that dying fish is disgusting and wrong! Why cant people like fish the way they are instead of possibly poisoning them and ruining the natural and unique identity. If they are selling GM fish shouldn't they have have been told of this before getting themselves into trouble that could cost them their business. "

"Get real. "Disgusting and wrong?" That is not the issue, these fish exist because there is a market for them. It's as simple as that. The creators of these fish, dyed or GM, have invested large amounts on money to meet a market demand. Educate buyers and you will eliminate the market and the fish, if people care. People may simply want pretty fish, and not care how they came to be "pretty.""

"What is wrong with these people?. Fishkeepers have an almost endless choice of naturally coloured fish to choose from. I really can't see the point in trying to improve on nature. If someone actually wants to keep these unfortunate fish, they are in the hobby for the wrong reason. "

"Selling of GM and imported fish is disgusting. why cant people enjoy fish in their natural beauty? people who wants dyed fish are people who don't care about fish and just want to make their tank look pretty! their are plenty of different species of fish out there that are completly gorgeous but natural.
The dying of fish is barbaric and it is not fair.
To those people out there who are selling these poor fish illegally are risking their business and prosecution, and i dont have any sympathy for these people eithier serve themselves right."

"I think this procedure is cruel & unnecessary!!! Fish are beautiful naturally the way god made them. They do not need to be inhanced like that. You people need to be turned in for even having it available to your customers. The only reason I even registered with your website, was to add this comment!!!!!!! I am very dis-pleased!!!"

"Oh, come on. How can this market you speak of exist? People who don't care how the fish got their colours would not buy these fish if they weren't available, because they wouldn't know they exist. Therefor the market is created by the people who dye the fish, not the other way around. I find it difficult to imagine that people would actually get the idea themselves to ask for a fish which has been additionally coloured. I find it much more likely for people asking for a brightly coloured fish and then being offered dyed fish by the retailer."

"Nothing wrong with GM. Bring it on. Evolution on steroids. Imagine the possibilities everything from disease resistance to a photosynthesizing guppy. My only objection is that the "Manufacturers" usually prohibit the breeding of their creations without a licence or engineer them to be sterile. Dyed fish....now that’s just fraud."
