anyone heard bout this? my boss told me about it today saying every 1 fish that servives 20 die. just been reading bout it on a website, apparently it doesnt stress the fish but i asume they have to take the fish out of water which would be stressful?
i personally think its mean, i dunno what people will think of next, maybe they will start piercin cats and dogs |

| omg thats awful.. i mean i know people tattoo dogs as a form of identity if they go missing (just a few numbrs and a letter on the ear or insife of the leg) but why tattoo fish?? thats just stupid - they arent going to go missing - there are plenty of lovely patterns on fish already so why edit what nature has already made??? |

| Before I say anything I am not going off on a christian rant - but why does man have to mess with the amazing creatures that God has made (or whoever/whatever you believe created life)! There are so many bizarre and beautiful creatures out there that have evolved naturally (but brain fog is stopping me from naming any - how frustrating), but 'we' have to mess about and make them 'better' or 'brighter'. I know sometimes there are necessary reasons for certain breedings, but something like this tatooing just makes my blood boil! xxx |

I quite agree. Selective breeding for a certain characteristic is one thing but this is a step too far. |

Its been happening in the Show Koi world for years. Its big business and Koi fetch big money if they have what is regarded as a perfect pattern for their type! If a fish is close to perfect the temptation is there to tweek it by any means to make it perfect and command a high price. Some fish change hands for multiples of thousands of pounds.....personaly I thinks its daft but like any animal thats "shown" people will cheat to win.............bonkers....... |

Agreed,
Selective breeding can bring in lovely results, with tampering with the animals. All the Corn morphs we have today are through selective breeding and so are Toyger cats.
Selective breeding can quite often bring in much better and longer living specimens as well, much better for people than modified creatures. |
