    Hi all.
    I saw that Pet Adventure in Kenilworth, Cape Town are selling painted glassfish. Is there anything we can do to stop LFS' from selling these fish?
    I felt so sorry for them. What they must have gone through.
    Can't we petition some organisation to stop them from trading in these fish?

    I was so pi$$ed off, that I just walked out.
    I don't mean stopping just them. I mean stopping all LFS'

    Unfortunately Darryn it is legal to sell them so at this point there is not much we can do. The only thing we can do is let that LFS know how we feel about it and ask them to please stop selling these fish or else we will spread the word and get our fellow fishkeepers to not support their shop. It sometimes works......

    Now if the injecting was happening in SA we could get Carte Blanche involved........

    On another forum I'm on they put up a petition against the imports and sales of dyed or tattoed fish, maybe we could do the same?

    Good morning
    Yes Donny is most properly right, especialy with this shain of stores Northern aquatics SAM'S, Pet adventure and i think there are 3 more. All one family/clan and there concern seems not with the well being of there fish as living thing but rather as a merchandise that can be sold.
    Posted some PM to overseas animal wellfare and there its the same. It is actually illegal but its done because the lobby of LPS is bigger than that of consumer.
    Petition is great and i think the new Magazine could be an accelent platform.
    Count me in and let me know what else i can do to get it going!!
