i take this statement to offense. i manage a fish department in town and i refuse to carry any type of dyed, tattoo, or injected fish. regardless of what people see upon first look, once you tell them the process of what this fish has to go through, generally their jaws drop and they understand WHY we don't carry them. don't say that ALL LFS are like that, and are just out to make money because that is not fact. fish departments hardly make ANY money off of fish because there is such a high mortality rate. it's supplies and tanks that bring in profit. yes, businesses are there to make money. some actually care and enjoy helping and educating the community more than that and enjoy the income at the same time.
