In Wu Han China, people have been purchasing tattoo’d fish. Customers can chose from many different Chinese characters such as “Wealth, Dragon, Longevity, Happiness”

These tropical fish have been very popular as people buy them for Fengshui and they are supposed to bring you good luck.

Those are awesome! I worked at a petstore where we sold those, but they weren’t charaters, they just had a patch of scales colored, and they were gouramis, not cichlids like those.

It’s just a pity the tats tend to fade…unless they’re doing something different with these.

Amazing fish! Though I have to wonder how long they live. I’ve heard such dying and tattooing can be traumatizing physically for the fish.

Nice? If you know the process of tattooing the fish you may think twice. This is animal abuse in plain sight and people call them cute? This is akin to skinning an animal and spraying it with paint then putting on display for people to purchase. Wanna peel your skin off and get paint sprayed on you?

Why you don’t buy a big string and kill yourself !!!
RESPECT for all and for animals that cannot speak to you…
If you buy this kind of fish… you are an IDIOT !!!

Are you serious? They can’t actually be tattooed, not when one knows the fundamentals of tattooing. I doubt these fish have been hurt. They could never survive the needles let a lone the vibration of any tattoo machine, it’s electric . . .

Hmm… probably paint of some sort,as tattos,as Suzanne explained,would definitly kill the fish. I should say maybe waterproof ink? ( is there such thing? )

It’s horrible to know that people can allow this weirdness.
Buying these poor animals makes cruelty continue.
