There are still too many fish that are being dyed. I have convinced some of the LFS I deal with to stop carrying them. It's ironic that one LFS I know talks about "conservation" and good fishkeeping practices, but carries dyed fish... I have always liked Indian Glass fish/Perch/Tetras. It's actually harder to get them without the dye job. The unpainted ones are almost all wild-caught and are very small. To make it even harder, they are usually finicky eaters, too. I finally got some recently that survived to adulthood. Funny that I got the ones that lived @ Petsmart.
