Rob Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 We do not support the sale of these fish They are GE'd Alan 104 :-? Why do you say we don't support the sale of this whole species due to GE reasons? I guess that means you also don't support the sale of zebra danios because SOME of them have been GE'd overseas to glow in the dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fins Posted October 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 how can you tell that they are GE'ed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 To tru Rob, same as the "painted fish" too. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 They are two diferent issues. Dyed fish are injected, it damages the fish and they die quickly so should not be supported. GE doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fins Posted October 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 neither of the fish look dyed and I would never buy a dyed fish, but i guess GE'ed fish would be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
