Just discovered today that I am allergic to these buggers. I also have adverse reactions to midge bites, so I'm guessing therein lies the connection. My eyes went red, swelled up and became intensely itchy, and my nose started running. I've never had a skin reaction, but I must have touched my face shortly after feeding bloodworms to my fish today - I know I touched one of the worms with my hand so I must have made accidental contact. Oops. Won't be doing that again.Matt Pedersen says:

Hi I would like to sign up for a boothCarlos Padilla says:
This picture makes me so angry why don’t they leave these beautiful creatures alone! I’m an aquarist although I love them very much and I know they should be left in their natural habitat, as to why I left the hobby completely because I can’t stand to see these beautiful creatures die in captivity! Please leave them alone!Joe says:
Ha! you all are ridiculous. These fish are not in pain or tortured to get their unique appearance. Essentially this is no different than the veil-tailed phenotype, the balloon-belly phenotype, or even the albino phenotype we see in several other species we keep as pets. Even the multitude of angelfish markings (other than the standard wild silver type) we see in pet stores are freaks of nature, should we boycott all of these fish? Honestly, this is even more humane than breeding the smash-face dog breeds like bull dogs and pugs because the "glo" phenotype, to my knowledge, does not cause health problems unlike what we see with the smash face dog breeds. You all need to chill out. Or if you really want to save the world from these atrocious Frankenstein genetics then you need to attack merchants for every non-wild type fish they carry. And have fun with that because that pretry much every merchant in the country... And that would basically make you PETA.
