Go talk to your LFS and explain to the manager about dyed fish and give him a link to the no-dyed fish web site  That works sometimes... trust me, by far not everyone knows that they are dyed! |

People must be buying them, if he's stocking them. i remember reading in Practical Fishkeeping about a company in japan(i think) where u could take your pet fish to get a tattoo. It should be outlawed because it is cruel.

Unfortunalty the owner does not care about fish.I would explain it to her only its a total waste of time as she just wants to make money and doesnt care what kind of fish she has.

Then go stand outside the shop for a few hours on a busy Sat and give out fliers to people explainign what dyed fish are. That should lose her some custom and make her think again about stocking them  |
