Tattooed Fish

Tattooed platties and parrotfish. Some of this is old, but the disturbing trend has apparently been revived just in time for V-Day. The second link has parrotfish with "I (heart) U" on their sides.

Little says love like a tattooed fish

Video of fishstore - I think it is in Thailand based on the writing on the tank.
YouTube - tattooed fish

 

that is disturbing.

 

Yeah I saw that on the news, it's a pet store in NYC that is importing these fish from Singapore to sell as novelties. My husband said, "What's wrong with that?" (he's a dumbass sometimes), and I said, "Well, say they get 20 tattooed fish in, how many fish didn't survive the tattooing process? The 20 that live through it are probably a very small percentage of the fish that they try it on". The LFS owner said on the news, "If a little kid walks into my store and wants to start keeping fish because he sees ones with hearts tattooed on it, I think that's wonderful. It's a wonderful way to get people interested in the hobby." Whatever happened to admire fish and other aquarium life for their natural beauty? Is it really necessary to tattoo them? My fish look pretty enough on their own.

 

yep makeup for fish on the next geraldo.

 

He's not tatooed he was just born a UT fan. Not a bad idea for a fish tatoo though, in my opinion.

 

Yeah too bad he died he would have been a great mascott, I still cant believe you didnt believe me when I told you he had that T on his side.

 

Hahaha that's cool.
