Re: [GSAS-Member] World's Smallest Fish Store

[matt kaufman <igotadose@hotmail.com>]

I'll report back with some photos after I return from Hong Kong the week after 
next. THe blue fish look like colored parrot cichlids, so aside from the 
awefulness of selling the gruesome parrot cichlid hybrid, now *dyed* (that is, 
injected with dye) gruesome hybrids are available. The "smiling" face is due to 
the deformed mouth, one of many hideous attributes of the so-called 'parrot' 
cichlid. Yuck!

 

The yellow fish looked a bit like Tangs, so maybe they do marine fish. Or, it 
could be they're injected parrots with yellow dye, too.
